Happy if it helps.

Yes, but these page are to precise what is Tails about. They are like
subpages of /about. Perhaps this section could have a better name, through.

I agree it is probably not the right place to speak about that, but I
though that we might want to take inspiration from this to put some
words on that somewhere else on the website. But I don't mind if it
disappears.

I would like to have this /doc section a real Tails documentation, and
for me (some bits of) this intro are important to have at the beginning
of such a document, so I'd rather be in favor of keeping it and
improving it.

Basically I agree on that plan. Some comments on details, through:

- there is the /doc/about/requirements page that should be handeled. It
might be good to let it in the about section or to put somewhere it in
the section about getting and installing Tails;

- once merged I see this about section as a part of the doc, which could
mean to move it to /doc/about.

Cheers,

Alan
