From 731a8c6bec8f1c50bd8dd8a20e1e3ac69b11b41d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Sage Sharp Date: Mon, 25 Jan 2021 15:05:15 -0800 Subject: [PATCH] DRAFT: Placeholder text for internet censorship prep documentation One of the Outreachy interns lives in a country where the government censored the internet. The government blocked social media, the Tor website, GitHub, and GitLab. This made it impossible for the intern to work on their project. Add placeholder sections to the internship guide that talk about how to debug and circumvent internet censorship. Discussion of what to put in those sections is still TBD. --- home/templates/home/docs/internship_guide.html | 8 ++++++++ home/templates/home/email/interns-notify.txt | 11 +++++++++++ 2 files changed, 19 insertions(+) diff --git a/home/templates/home/docs/internship_guide.html b/home/templates/home/docs/internship_guide.html index b9d0d7b24..f0563fae8 100644 --- a/home/templates/home/docs/internship_guide.html +++ b/home/templates/home/docs/internship_guide.html @@ -24,6 +24,7 @@
