I hope that you’re doing well. Last time I emailed, we had just embarked on doing an edit-a-thon of checking for relevance on our SEC site. It went well and we were able to tackle the majority of pieces. :) I just wanted to let you know that myself and my colleague, Kim, are preparing for a new format for how we do updates to our security resources internally. We’re going to try a little internal process experiment, seeing if we can more regularly update not just SEC, but SSD. Our first joint update-a-thon will be toward the end of this month, around October 26th. It’s a little tricky since both websites are set up differently, and have ~very~ different approaches to content edits (SSD has a lot of contingencies as a translated resource). What this looks like: we recruit a bunch of our colleagues (activists, technologists and a lawyer) to sit down, have a discussion about content and if our overarching advice has changed (e.g. how do we talk about PGP, OTR, etc. now), and then review new content for technical and legal inaccuracies, iron them out, and as able, publish. For the existing content, we’ll check to see if our advice and materials still hold up, and will mark them as reviewed if so. — Other changes for down the line: We’re putting together a disclaimer for our not-yet-up translations page for SEC. We want to encourage folks to translate and repurpose and grow our materials, while proactively linking to and encouraging other group's efforts. However, we won’t have the bandwidth to vet these translations, so there will be some legalese in there. Based on feedback from trainers in Asia, I’m putting together some infographics. I’m doing my best to make these flexible for trainers and teachers without design software to edit. These include graphics for encryption in transit, as well as what the Privacy Badger and HTTPS Everywhere infographics do. Let me know if you might have interest in testing these out with the groups you work with. — Anyway, hope you’re all well! As always, feel free to message me if you have ideas for things we could improve, ideas for new content, or if you just want to say hi. Best, Soraya
