See the discussion in the revised docs for background and motivation,
and an explanation of why this value.

Greg Price a116303604 passwords: Express the quality threshold as guesses required.
The original "quality score" was invented purely for populating
our password-strength progress bar, and isn't expressed in terms
that are particularly meaningful.  For configuration and the core
accept/reject logic, it's better to use units that are readily
understood.  Switch to those.

I considered using "bits of entropy", defined loosely as the log
of this number, but both the zxcvbn paper and the linked CACM
article (which I recommend!) are written in terms of the number
of guesses.  And reading (most of) those two papers made me
less happy about referring to "entropy" in our terminology.
I already knew that notion was a little fuzzy if looked at
too closely, and I gained a better appreciation of how it's
contributed to confusion in discussing password policies and
to adoption of perverse policies that favor "Password1!" over
"derived unusual ravioli raft".  So, "guesses" it is.

And although the log is handy for some analysis purposes
(certainly for a graph like those in the zxcvbn paper), it adds
a layer of abstraction, and I think makes it harder to think
clearly about attacks, especially in the online setting.  So
just use the actual number, and if someone wants to set a
gigantic value, they will have the pleasure of seeing just
how many digits are involved.

(Thanks to @YJDave for a prototype that the code changes in this
 commit are based on.)

Tim Abbott 1ceaedb2c5 docs: Remove html_unescape.py.
This was just for 1-time use exported the original Zulip documentation.

Tim Abbott 630037967f docs: Stop linking to removed whitespace section of style guide.
We should probably just encourage linting for this.

Tim Abbott e660faa225 docs: Remove code style section on jQuery global state.
I don't think anyone has tried to do this for a long time, since the
channel module makes it pretty clear how to do an ajax call.

Tim Abbott 0054fa17f1 docs: Simplify javascript var discussion.
We don't need as much as before, since it's enforced by the linter.

derAnfaenger 7ff697d053 linter: Add rule against using `pk` instead of `id`.
There's one exception here, for model._meta.pk.  To support this
nicely, we added this exclude-pattern feature.
2017-10-06 12:56:26 -07:00
derAnfaenger 64b8930225 linter: Add rules against improper shebangs. 2017-10-06 12:46:19 -07:00
derAnfaenger 71159fe19a code style guide: Remove obsolete space-around-bracket rule.
For .py files, our pep8 linter enforces this rule.
For .js files, eslint enforces this rule.
2017-10-06 12:46:12 -07:00
derAnfaenger c022b7a8fa linter: Add rule against using the `style` attribute.
This has a ton of exclude rules, for two reasons:

(1) We haven't been particularly systematic about avoiding unnecessary
inline style in the past, so there's a lot of code we need to fix.

(2) There are cases where one wants to dynamically compute style
rules. For the latter category, ideally we'd figure out a way to
exclude these automatically (e.g. checking for mustache tags in the
style tag).

Tim Abbott 930eef3caa tools: Add new script to sync translations.
We just learned we should be using the "onlytranslated" mode of
Transifex.  Since the command is getting a bit complex (and you need
to remember to run `makemessages` first), it makes sense to have a
tool for it.

Tim Abbott 26982ff55f puppet: Remove pageduty_nagios.pl.
This hasn't been used in like 4 years, and clutters the repo.

derAnfaenger c957d1857e code style guide: Update and remove outdated rules.
These are all enforced by our linters, and thus a source of clutter in
this code style guide.

Tim Abbott ab71c42ab8 docs: Update confusing changelog entry.
The original text meant to say "lost", not "last", but also was a bit
confusing anyway.

One of these isn't true (not requiring braces) and the rest are
already handled by our linters.

Greg Price 7e8bbda171 docs/logging: Update for the revised log format.
This accumulates several changes in recent commits: decimal point
rather than comma, compact log level, and logger names, the latter
abbreviated `zr` in the case of `zulip.request`.

Alena Volkova bcb9c76457 docs: Clarify who can collaborate in area label teams.
Collaboration in area label teams is only available to members of the
Zulip organization on GitHub. For non-members the related links are
not working, which can be confusing.  Address this by explaining the
links won't work and also that anyone can join.
