15) <p><strong>DEDHAM, MA</strong> -The Tor Project has <a href="https://svn.torproject.org/tor/trunk/doc/roadmaps/2009-03-11-performance.pdf">launched a roadmap</a> for dramatically improving the performance of the public Tor network over the next year. A combination of existing funding and a needed $1 million over the next 12 months will ensure success. This campaign is a direct result of the recently published <a href="<page press/2008-12-19-roadmap-press-release>">3-Year Development Roadmap</a>. The roadmap incorporates research and actions from a number of sources which define the next steps for improving performance of the public Tor network. The most requested feature by users of the public Tor network is to increase performance while keeping strong anonymity intact.</p>
