restructure verification page (#3893, #17413) #31

Current plan is to collapse the page with a css-only accordion and split it in basic steps

introduction
install gpg
download signing key
verify gpg signature
verify checksums

Each section will have OS specific instructions. When all sections are collapsed at the beginning and users only open what they are interested in, my hope is the page will be much less confusing.
According to browser support for CSS3 properties the used transition feature is not supported by browsers older than: IE 10, FF 16, Chrome 26, Safari 6.1 and Opera 12.1

For most of our users, international travel is really not the best method. We need to provide a better explanation here.

Good point, changing to "As international travel to meet the developer might be
unfeasable you are left with trusting other people who signed this key."

These instructions duplicate earlier instructions, but they're also slightly different. Is there a better way?

This is commented because I assume at this point it is ok, to tell users reproduce above step to import the key by just telling the key id. I see no better option at the moment.

You should feel free to delete obsolete instructions.
We can always get them back out of git.

Hi, just a few minor changes left.

I feel like this document is way too wordy, but that might be ok as a reference for advanced users.

This explanation raises security concerns, but it doesn't tell people what they should do.

If you can't give people a useful action to take to improve their security, please just tell them to ignore the warning.

One useful action might be: "use another device or another internet connection to check the key fingerprints listed on the tor website at ..."

Please consistently use "OS X", "macOS", or "Mac OS X" throughout the document.

You could choose "macOS", because that's what Apple calls it now. Or you could match the Tor download page.

Hey, could you just resolve conflicts before I merge this?

traumschule · 2018-09-05T10:03:57Z

rebased.

@teor2345 sorry, lost your comments through push -f. Something above is still unresolved.

I feel like this document is way too wordy, but that might be ok as a reference for advanced users.

Maybe that's ok because we (hopefully) soon have are shorter version in the tb-manual:
