mobile Zulip client supporting both iOS and Android.

Edited by tabbott to also fix confusion about the desktop.

Alexis La Porte ec3b2072ce docs: Fix broken anchor links to troubleshooting section.
The Vagrant environment setup tutorial anchor links for the
Troubleshooting & Common Errors section don't work in GitHub flavored
markdown because the ampersand in the heading gets removed and the
resulting space is filled with a hyphen. (See here:
https://gist.github.com/asabaylus/3071099#gistcomment-1593627)

To make anchor links work with ReadTheDocs as well as with GitHub
markdown for the time being, this commit changes ampersand in the
heading to 'and'.

Fixes #7056.

rht a967ac5fa7 docs: Simplify install instruction for production environment. 2017-10-18 09:21:16 -07:00
rht a603a4f9f5 Remove `from __future__ import absolute_import`.
Except in:
- docs/writing-bots-guide.md, because bots are supposed to be Python 2
  compatible
- puppet/zulip_ops/files/zulip-ec2-configure-interfaces, because this
  script is still on python2.7
- tools/lint
- tools/linter_lib
- tools/lister.py

For the latter two, because they might be yanked away to a separate repo
for general use with other FLOSS projects.

Greg Price 0691724836 passwords: Set default zxcvbn threshold to 10k guesses.
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.)

I don't think anyone has tried to do this for a long time, since the

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.

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).
