4 SPEC - Spec not finalized
23 =======================================================================
28 W - Take the results from instrumenting directory downloads on Tor
29 clients, and analyze/simulate some alternate approaches. Finish
30 proposal for how to improve things, iterate based on feedback,
31 convince us that the anonymity tradeoffs and/or scalability
32 tradeoffs are acceptable.
35 KS - Design hidden service improvements, evaluate them and consider
36 security properties: write some proposals, get feedback, revise
38 ? - nlnet 'user safety contest'. submit torbrowser, others?
42 o Vidalia learns when Tor thinks it should be updated
43 R - Tor status events should suggest a new version to switch to
44 I - Figure out a good PKI, document the design, assess security issues:
46 - Vidalia fetches the new one via Tor when possible, but fetches
47 it without Tor "when necessary", whatever that means.
48 - Give an interface for notifying the user, and letting her
49 decide to fetch and decide to swap out the old Tor for the new.
50 - Do the same for Polipo
51 - and for Vidalia itself
54 NSE - Write first draft of research study for Paul's research problem.
55 This should be at least vaguely related to what was discussed in
56 the end-of-May deliverable.
59 KS - Finish implementation of hidden service improvements: have a set
60 of patches that you think work.
61 W - Finish implementation of directory overhead changes: have a set
62 of patches that you think work.
65 KS - Finish testing, debugging, unit testing, etc the hidden service
66 changes. Have it in the development version and in use.
67 W - Finish testing, debugging, unit testing, etc the directory overhead
68 changes. Have it in the development version and in use.
70 =======================================================================
72 Other things Roger would be excited to see:
75 - Finish buffer stuff in libevent; start using it in Tor.
76 - Tors start believing the contents of NETINFO cells.
77 . Work with Steven and Roger to decide which parts of Paul's project
79 - respond to Steven's red-team TLS testing (a.k.a, look at a packet
83 - Fit Vidalia in 640x480 again.
84 - When user changes the language in Vidalia, have it change right then.
85 - Vidalia should display/edit PlaintextPorts events/config.
86 . Vidalia's GUI should let you specify an http proxy that it launches
87 for you. Maybe in the general config window next to which Tor it
89 - Vidalia should avoid stomping on your custom exit policy lines
90 just because you click on 'save' for a totally different config thing.
91 - How much space do we save in TBB by stripping symbols from Vidalia
92 first? Good idea or crazy idea?
95 - gmail auto responder so you send us an email and we send you a Tor
96 binary. Probably needs a proposal first.
97 - weather.torproject.org should go live.
98 o Learn from Steven how to build/maintain the Tor Browser Bundle.
99 - Keep advocating new Tor servers and working with orgs like Mozilla
100 to let them like Tor.
101 - Start converting critical wiki pages into real Tor wml pages. E.g.,
102 https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/VerifyingSignatures
103 - Find out what happened to the buildbot and get it back up:
104 http://tor-buildbot.freehaven.net:8010/
105 - Learn about locking memory pages that have sensitive content. Get
108 - Vidalia html help files
109 - should we i18nize polipo's error messages too?
110 - Some of our translated wml files are very old -- so old that they
111 are harmful to leave in place. We need some sort of way to notice
112 this and disable them.
115 - Figure out (or give up on) how to run Tor Browser and ordinary
116 Firefox side-by-side.
117 - Enumerate and analyze traces left when running from USB
118 - Write a list of research items Tor would like to see done, for the
119 volunteer page. Pick a few you'd like to work on yourself.
120 - Move proposal 131 or equivalent forward.
121 - Keep bugging us about exploits on the .exit notation.
122 - If relays have 100KB/s but set relaybandwidthrate to 10KB/s, do your
123 interference attacks still work?
124 - Mike's question #3 on https://www.torproject.org/volunteer#Research
125 - Worthwhile shipping TBB with some local html help files that come
127 - Decide whether TBB should use Torbutton's "lock" feature.
128 http://archives.seul.org/or/cvs/Jun-2008/msg00186.html
131 - Which bundles include Torbutton? Change the docs/tor-doc-foo pages
132 so they admit that Torbutton is in them too. Change the download
134 - The OS X bundle screenshots are from forever ago -- they don't
135 include Torbutton, they still say it's tor.eff.org, etc.
136 - Should we still be telling you how to use Safari on OS X for Tor,
137 given all the holes that Torbutton-dev solves on Firefox?
140 o Make a hidden services explanation page with the hidden service
141 diagrams. See img/THS-[1-6].png. These need some text to go along
142 with them though, so people can follow what's going on.
143 - We should consider a single config option TorPrivateNetwork that
144 turns on all the config options for running a private test tor
145 network. having to keep updating all the tools, and the docs,
149 - Figure out how to make Vidalia and Tor play nicely on Debian, make
150 the necessary modifications, and make some Vidalia debs that pass
153 - Get oftc to switch to Tor dns bulk exitlist. Or tell us why it's
155 - Take non-Running entries out of the networkstatus consensus.
156 - Move proposal 134 forward.
157 - putting port predictions in state file
158 - if tor hasn't been used in a while it stops fetching consensus
159 documents. Retain that state over restarts.
162 - Finish tor-doc-bridge.wml
163 . Fix FAQ entry on setting up private Tor network
164 - Review Karsten's hidden service diagrams
165 - Roger should visit Internews DC sometime.
166 - Did we actually apply Steven's dkimproxy patch?
167 - Brainstorm about safe but effective ways for vidalia to
168 auto-update its user's bridges via Tor in the background.
171 - Roger wants to get an email every time there's a blog change,
172 e.g. a comment. That way spam doesn't go undetected for weeks.
173 - Or, maybe just disable linking from blog comments entirely?
175 =======================================================================
177 Bugs/issues for Tor 0.2.0.x:
178 . we should have an off-by-default way for relays to dump geoip data to
179 a file in their data directory, for measurement purposes.
180 o Basic implementation
181 N - Include probability-of-selection
182 R d let bridges set relaybandwidthrate as low as 5kb
183 R - bridge communities
186 - man page entries for Alternate*Authority config options
188 Documentation for Tor 0.2.0.x:
190 . 111: Prioritize local traffic over relayed.
191 R - Merge into tor-spec.txt.
192 - 113: mark as closed close.
193 o document the "3/4 and 7/8" business in the clients fetching consensus
195 R - then document the bridge user download timeline.
196 - HOWTO for DNSPort. See tup's wiki page.
197 . Document transport and natdport in a good HOWTO.
198 - Quietly document NT Service options: revise (or create) FAQ entry
200 =======================================================================
203 R d bug: if we launch using bridges, and then stop using bridges, we
204 still have our bridges in our entryguards section, and may use them.
205 R d add an event to report geoip summaries to vidalia for bridge relays,
206 so vidalia can say "recent activity (1-8 users) from sa".
207 R - investigate: it looks like if the bridge authority is unreachable,
208 we're not falling back on querying bridges directly?
209 R - if "no running bridges known", an application request should make
210 us retry all our bridges.
211 R - get matt to make vidalia do a getinfo status/bootstrap-phase to
212 get caught up after it connects.
213 R d Setting DirPort when acting as bridge will give false Warnings
217 o 110: avoid infinite-length circuits
218 R d 128: families of private bridges
219 - 134: handle authority fragmentation.
221 - Proposals to write:
222 R d Do we want to maintain our own set of entryguards that we use as
223 next hop after the bridge?
224 X Add an 'exit-address' line in the descriptor for servers that exit
225 from something that isn't their published address.
226 [I think tordnsel solved this. -RD]
227 - Proposal to supersede 117 by adding IPv6 support for exits and entries.
228 - Internal code support for ipv6:
229 o Clone ipv6 functions (inet_ntop, inet_pton) where they don't exist.
230 - Many address variables need to become tor_addr_t
231 - addr in connection_t
232 - n_addr in extend_info_t
233 - Teach resolving code how to handle ipv6.
234 . Teach exit policies about ipv6 (consider ipv4/ipv6
236 - Generate END_REASON_EXITPOLICY cells and parse them right
237 - Generate new BEGIN cell types and parse them right
238 - 118: Listen on and advertise multiple ports:
239 - Tor should be able to have a pool of outgoing IP addresses that it is
240 able to rotate through. (maybe. Possible overlap with proposal 118.)
241 - config option to publish what ports you listen on, beyond
242 ORPort/DirPort. It should support ranges and bit prefixes (?) too.
243 - Need to figure out the right format for routerinfo_t on this.
244 - Fix voting to handle bug 608 case when multiple servers get
246 d Possibly: revise link protocol to allow big circuit IDs,
247 variable-length cells, proposal-110 stuff, and versioned CREATES?
248 o Eliminate use of v2 networkstatus documents in v3 authority
250 N . Draft proposal for GeoIP aggregation (see external constraints *)
251 o Separate Guard flags for "pick this as a new guard" and "keep this
252 as an existing guard". First investigate if we want this.
253 . Figure out how to make good use of the fallback consensus file. Right
254 now many of the addresses in the fallback consensus will be stale,
255 so it will take dozens of minutes to bootstrap from it. This is a
256 bad first Tor experience. But if we check the fallback consensus
257 file *after* we fail to connect to any authorities, then it may
258 still be valuable as a blocking-resistance step.
259 o Write the proposal.
260 - Patch our tor.spec rpm package so it knows where to put the fallback
262 d Something for bug 469, to limit connections per IP.
263 . Put bandwidth weights in the networkstatus? So clients get weight
264 their choices even before they have the descriptors; and so
265 authorities can put in more accurate numbers in the future.
266 d Fetch an updated geoip file from the directory authorities.
268 - Tiny designs to write:
269 . Better estimate of clock skew; has anonymity implications. Clients
270 should estimate their skew as median of skew from servers over last
271 N seconds, but for servers this is not so easy, since a server does
272 not choose who it connects to.
273 - Do TLS connection rotation more often than "once a week" in the
275 (One reason not to do it more often is because the old TLS conn
276 probably has a circuit on it, and we don't really want to build up
277 dozens of TCP connections to all the other extra-stable relays.)
278 - If a relay publishes a new descriptor with a significantly lower
279 uptime or with a new IP address, then we should consider its current
280 "running" interval to have ended even if it hadn't yet failed its
281 third reachability test. the interval ended when the new descriptor
282 appeared, and a new interval began then too.
285 - Optimize cell pool allocation.
286 d Support (or just always use) jemalloc (if it helps)
288 - Look into pulling serverdescs off buffers as they arrive.
290 - Use if-modified-since to download consensuses
291 - Handle multi-core cpus better
292 - Use information from NETINFO cells
293 - Don't extend a circuit over a noncanonical connection with
295 - Learn our outgoing IP address from netinfo cells?
296 - Learn skew from netinfo cells?
298 - Better unit test coverage
299 - Refactor unit tests into multiple files
300 - Verify that write limits to linked connections work.
301 - Use more mid-level and high-level libevent APIs
306 - Get IOCP patch into libevent *
308 - Security improvements
309 - make is-consensus-fresh-enough check way tighter.
310 - If we haven't tried downloading a consensus for ages since we're tired,
311 try getting a new one before we use old descriptors for a circuit.
314 - Feature removals and deprecations:
315 - Get rid of the v1 directory stuff (making, serving, and caching)
316 - First verify that the caches won't flip out?
317 - If they will, just stop the caches from caching for now
318 - perhaps replace it with a "this is a tor server" stock webpage.
319 - The v2dir flag isn't used for anything anymore, right? If so, dump it.
320 - Even clients run rep_hist_load_mtbf_data(). Does this waste memory?
322 - Unless we start using ftime functions, dump them.
323 - can we deprecate 'getinfo network-status'?
324 - can we deprecate the FastFirstHopPK config option?
325 - Can we deprecate controllers that don't use both features?
327 Nice to have for 0.2.1.x:
329 - steven's plan for replacing check.torproject.org with a built-in
330 answer by tor itself.
333 P - Make documentation realize that location of system configuration file
334 will depend on location of system defaults, and isn't always /etc/torrc.
336 - Small controller features
337 - A status event for when tor decides to stop fetching directory info
338 if the client hasn't clicked recently: then make the onion change too.
339 - Add a status event when new consensus arrives
342 P - Figure out why dll's compiled in mingw don't work right in WinXP.
343 P - create a "make win32-bundle" for vidalia-privoxy-tor-torbutton bundle
346 - Refactor the HTTP logic so the functions aren't so large.
347 - Refactor buf_read and buf_write to have sensible ways to return
348 error codes after partial writes
349 - Router_choose_random_node() has a big pile of args. make it "flags".
350 - Streamline how we pick entry nodes: Make choose_random_entry() have
351 less magic and less control logic.
352 - Don't call time(NULL) so much; instead have a static time_t field
353 that gets updated only a handful of times per second.
354 - Move all status info out of routerinfo into local_routerstatus. Make
355 "who can change what" in local_routerstatus explicit. Make
356 local_routerstatus (or equivalent) subsume all places to go for "what
358 - deprecate router_digest_is_trusted_dir() in favor of
359 router_get_trusteddirserver_by_digest()
361 - Make Tor able to chroot itself
362 o allow it to load an entire config file from control interface
364 - log rotation (and FD passing) via control interface
365 - chroot yourself, including inhibit trying to read config file
366 and reopen logs, unless they are under datadir.
369 - Base relative control socket paths (and other stuff in torrc) on datadir.
370 - Tor logs the libevent version on startup, for debugging purposes.
371 This is great. But it does this before configuring the logs, so
372 it only goes to stdout and is then lost.
373 - Make TrackHostExits expire TrackHostExitsExpire seconds after their
374 *last* use, not their *first* use.
375 - enforce a lower limit on MaxCircuitDirtiness and CircuitBuildTimeout.
376 - Make 'safelogging' extend to info-level logs too.
377 - don't do dns hijacking tests if we're reject *:* exit policy?
378 (deferred until 0.1.1.x is less common)
379 - More consistent error checking in router_parse_entry_from_string().
380 I can say "banana" as my bandwidthcapacity, and it won't even squeak.
382 - Interface for letting SOAT modify flags that authorities assign.
383 (How to keep the authority from clobbering them afterwards?
385 Later, unless people want to implement them now:
386 - Actually use SSL_shutdown to close our TLS connections.
387 - Include "v" line in networkstatus getinfo values.
388 [Nick: bridge authorities output a networkstatus that is missing
389 version numbers. This is inconvenient if we want to make sure
390 bridgedb gives out bridges with certain characteristics. -RD]
391 [Okay. Is this a separate item, or is it the same issue as the lack of
392 a "v" line in response to the controller GETINFO command? -NM]
393 - Let tor dir mirrors proxy connections to the tor download site, so
394 if you know a bridge you can fetch the tor software.
395 - when somebody uses the controlport as an http proxy, give them
396 a "tor isn't an http proxy" error too like we do for the socks port.
397 - MAYBE kill stalled circuits rather than stalled connections. This is
398 possible thanks to cell queues, but we need to consider the anonymity
400 - Make resolves no longer use edge_connection_t unless they are actually
401 _on_ a socks connection: have edge_connection_t and (say)
402 dns_request_t both extend an edge_stream_t, and have p_streams and
403 n_streams both be linked lists of edge_stream_t.
404 - Generate torrc.{complete|sample}.in, tor.1.in, the HTML manual, and the
405 online config documentation from a single source.
406 - It would be potentially helpful to respond to https requests on
407 the OR port by acting like an HTTPS server.
408 - Make the timestamp granularity on logs configurable, with default
409 of "1 second". This might make some kinds of after-the-fact attack harder.
411 Can anybody remember why we wanted to do this and/or what it means?
412 - config option __ControllerLimit that hangs up if there are a limit
413 of controller connections already.
414 [This was mwenge's idea. The idea is that a Tor controller can
415 "fill" Tor's controller slot quota, so jerks can't do cross-protocol
416 attacks like the http form attack. -RD]
418 . Ask all directory questions to bridge via BEGIN_DIR.
419 - use the bridges for dir fetches even when our dirport is open.
420 - drop 'authority' queries if they're to our own identity key; accept
422 - give extend_info_t a router_purpose again
426 If somebody wants to do this in some version, they should:
427 - Create packages for Nokia 800, requested by Chris Soghoian
428 - More work on AvoidDiskWrites
429 - Make DNSPort support TCP DNS.
432 * * * * Roger, please sort these: * * * *
434 - bridge communities with local bridge authorities:
435 - clients who have a password configured decide to ask their bridge
436 authority for a networkstatus
437 - be able to have bridges that aren't in your torrc. save them in
439 - Consider if we can solve: the Tor client doesn't know what flags
440 its bridge has (since it only gets the descriptor), so it can't
441 make decisions based on Fast or Stable.
442 - Some mechanism for specifying that we want to stop using a cached
445 =======================================================================
450 - Our current approach to block attempts to use Tor as a single-hop proxy
451 is pretty lame; we should get a better one.
452 - Allow small cells and large cells on the same network?
453 - Cell buffering and resending. This will allow us to handle broken
454 circuits as long as the endpoints don't break, plus will allow
455 connection (tls session key) rotation.
456 - Implement Morphmix, so we can compare its behavior, complexity,
457 etc. But see paper breaking morphmix.
458 - Other transport. HTTP, udp, rdp, airhook, etc. May have to do our own
459 link crypto, unless we can bully DTLS into it.
460 - Need a relay teardown cell, separate from one-way ends.
461 (Pending a user who needs this)
462 - Handle half-open connections: right now we don't support all TCP
463 streams, at least according to the protocol. But we handle all that
464 we've seen in the wild.
465 (Pending a user who needs this)
469 - handle connect-dir streams that don't have a chosen_exit_name set.
470 - Have a "Faster" status flag that means it. Fast2, Fast4, Fast8?
471 - Add an option (related to AvoidDiskWrites) to disable directory
472 caching. (Is this actually a good idea??)
473 X Add d64 and fp64 along-side d and fp so people can paste status
474 entries into a url. since + is a valid base64 char, only allow one
475 at a time. Consider adding to controller as well.
476 [abandoned for lack of demand]
477 - Some back-out mechanism for auto-approval on authorities
478 - a way of rolling back approvals to before a timestamp
479 - Consider minion-like fingerprint file/log combination.
480 X Have new people be in limbo and need to demonstrate usefulness
481 before we approve them.
484 d Standby/hotswap/redundant hidden services: needs a proposal.
485 - you can insert a hidserv descriptor via the controller.
486 - auth mechanisms to let hidden service midpoint and responder filter
487 connection requests: proposal 121.
488 - Let each hidden service (or other thing) specify its own
492 - If the server is spewing complaints about raising your ulimit -n,
493 we should add a note about this to the server descriptor so other
494 people can notice too.
495 - When we hit a funny error from a dir request (eg 403 forbidden),
496 but tor is working and happy otherwise, and we haven't seen many
497 such errors recently, then don't warn about it.
500 - Implement missing status events and accompanying getinfos
502 - BAD_DIR_RESPONSE (Unexpected directory response; maybe we're behind
504 - BAD_PROXY (Bad http or https proxy)
505 - UNRECOGNIZED_ROUTER (a nickname we asked for is unavailable)
506 - Status events related to hibernation
507 - something about failing to parse our address?
508 from resolve_my_address() in config.c
509 - sketchy OS, sketchy threading
510 - too many onions queued: threading problems or slow CPU?
511 - Implement missing status event fields:
512 - TIMEOUT on CHECKING_REACHABILITY
513 - GETINFO status/client, status/server, status/general: There should be
514 some way to learn which status events are currently "in effect."
515 We should specify which these are, what format they appear in, and so
517 - More information in events:
518 - Include bandwidth breakdown by conn->type in BW events.
519 - Change circuit status events to give more details, like purpose,
520 whether they're internal, when they become dirty, when they become
521 too dirty for further circuits, etc.
522 - Change stream status events analogously.
523 - Expose more information via getinfo:
524 - import and export rendezvous descriptors
525 - Review all static fields for additional candidates
526 - Allow EXTENDCIRCUIT to unknown server.
527 - We need some way to adjust server status, and to tell tor not to
528 download directories/network-status, and a way to force a download.
529 - Make everything work with hidden services
531 - Performance/resources
532 - per-conn write buckets
533 - separate config options for read vs write limiting
534 (It's hard to support read > write, since we need better
535 congestion control to avoid overfull buffers there. So,
536 defer the whole thing.)
537 - Rate limit exit connections to a given destination -- this helps
538 us play nice with websites when Tor users want to crawl them; it
539 also introduces DoS opportunities.
540 - Consider truncating rather than destroying failed circuits,
541 in order to save the effort of restarting. There are security
542 issues here that need thinking, though.
543 - Handle full buffers without totally borking
544 - Rate-limit OR and directory connections overall and per-IP and
548 - Hold-open-until-flushed now works by accident; it should work by
550 - Display the reasons in 'destroy' and 'truncated' cells under
552 - Make router_is_general_exit() a bit smarter once we're sure what
554 - Automatically determine what ports are reachable and start using
555 those, if circuits aren't working and it's a pattern we
556 recognize ("port 443 worked once and port 9001 keeps not
560 - some better fix for bug #516?
563 - Servers might check certs for known-good ssl websites, and if
564 they come back self-signed, declare themselves to be
565 non-exits. Similar to how we test for broken/evil dns now.
566 - Authorities should try using exits for http to connect to some
567 URLS (specified in a configuration file, so as not to make the
568 List Of Things Not To Censor completely obvious) and ask them
569 for results. Exits that don't give good answers should have
570 the BadExit flag set.
571 - Alternatively, authorities should be able to import opinions
572 from Snakes on a Tor.
573 - Bind to random port when making outgoing connections to Tor servers,
574 to reduce remote sniping attacks.
575 - Audit everything to make sure rend and intro points are just as
576 likely to be us as not.
577 - Do something to prevent spurious EXTEND cells from making
578 middleman nodes connect all over. Rate-limit failed
579 connections, perhaps?
580 - DoS protection: TLS puzzles, public key ops, bandwidth exhaustion.
583 - Now that we're avoiding exits when picking non-exit positions,
584 we need to consider how to pick nodes for internal circuits. If
585 we avoid exits for all positions, we skew the load balancing. If
586 we accept exits for all positions, we leak whether it's an
587 internal circuit at every step. If we accept exits only at the
588 last hop, we reintroduce Lasse's attacks from the Oakland paper.
590 - Windows server usability
591 - Solve the ENOBUFS problem.
592 - make tor's use of openssl operate on buffers rather than sockets,
593 so we can make use of libevent's buffer paradigm once it has one.
594 - make tor's use of libevent tolerate either the socket or the
595 buffer paradigm; includes unifying the functions in connect.c.
596 - We need a getrlimit equivalent on Windows so we can reserve some
597 file descriptors for saving files, etc. Otherwise we'll trigger
598 asserts when we're out of file descriptors and crash.
601 - a way to generate the website diagrams from source, so we can
602 translate them as utf-8 text rather than with gimp. (svg? or
604 . Flesh out options_description array in src/or/config.c
605 . multiple sample torrc files
606 - Refactor tor man page to divide generally useful options from
608 - Add a doxygen style checker to make check-spaces so nick doesn't drift
609 too far from arma's undocumented styleguide. Also, document that
610 styleguide in HACKING. (See r9634 for example.)
611 - exactly one space at beginning and at end of comments, except i
612 guess when there's line-length pressure.
613 - if we refer to a function name, put a () after it.
614 - only write <b>foo</b> when foo is an argument to this function.
615 - doxygen comments must always end in some form of punctuation.
616 - capitalize the first sentence in the doxygen comment, except
618 - avoid spelling errors and incorrect comments. ;)
621 - The Debian package now uses --verify-config when (re)starting,
622 to distinguish configuration errors from other errors. Perhaps
623 the RPM and other startup scripts should too?
624 - add a "default.action" file to the tor/vidalia bundle so we can
625 fix the https thing in the default configuration:

638 - Remove need for HACKING file.
639 - document http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/TransparentProxy on freebsd and osx
640 P - figure out why x86_64 won't build rpms from tor.spec
641 P - figure out rpm spec files for bundles of vidalia-tor-polipo
642 P - figure out polipo install scripts for bundles of vidalia-tor-polipo on osx, win32
643 - figure out selinux policy for tor
644 P - change packaging system to more automated and specific for each
645 platform, suggested by Paul Wouter
646 P - Setup repos for redhat and suse rpms & start signing the rpms the
647 way package management apps prefer
650 J . tor-in-the-media page
651 P - Figure out licenses for website material.
652 (Phobos reccomends the Open Publication License with Option A at
653 http://opencontent.org/openpub/)
654 P - put the logo on the website, in source form, so people can put it on
655 stickers directly, etc.
656 P - put the source image for the stickers on the website, so people can
658 P - figure out a license for the logos and docs we publish (trademark
660 (Phobos reccomends the Open Publication License with Option A at
661 http://opencontent.org/openpub/)
662 P - ask Jan/Jens to be the translation coordinator? add to volunteer page.
663 I - add a page for localizing all tor's components.
664 - It would be neat if we had a single place that described _all_ the
665 tor-related tools you can use, and what they give you, and how well they
666 work. Right now, we don't give a lot of guidance wrt
667 torbutton/foxproxy/privoxy/polipo in any consistent place.
668 P - create a 'blog badge' for tor fans to link to and feature on their
669 blogs. A sample is at http://interloper.org/tmp/tor/tor-button.png
670 - More prominently, we should have a recommended apps list.
671 - recommend pidgin (gaim is renamed)
672 - unrecommend IE because of ftp:// bug.
673 - Addenda to tor-design
674 - we should add a preamble to tor-design saying it's out of date.
675 - we should add an appendix or errata on what's changed.
678 - make a mailing list with the mirror operators
679 o make an automated tool to check /project/trace/ at mirrors to
680 learn which ones are lagging behind.
681 - auto (or manually) cull the mirrors that are broken; and
682 contact their operator?
683 - a set of instructions for mirror operators to make their apaches
684 serve our charsets correctly, and bonus points for language
686 - figure out how to load-balance the downloads across mirrors?
687 - ponder how to get users to learn that they should google for
688 "tor mirrors" if the main site is blocked.
689 - find a mirror volunteer to coordinate all of this
