26)     Vidalia is a cross-platform graphical controller for the
27)     <a href="<page index>">Tor</a> software, built using the <a
28)     href="http://qt.nokia.com/">Qt</a> framework. Vidalia runs on most
29)     platforms supported by Qt 4.3 or later, including Microsoft Windows,
30)     Apple OS X, and Linux or other Unix variants using the X11 window
31)     system.

32)     </p>
33)     <p>
34)     Vidalia lets you start and stop Tor, see how much bandwidth you are

35)     consuming, see how many circuits you currently have active, see where
36)     these circuits are connected on a global map, view messages from
37)     Tor about its progress and current state, and let you configure your
38)     Tor client, bridge, or relay with a simple interface.  Included in
39)     Vidalia is an extensive help system which helps you understand all of
40)     the options available to you.  All of these features are translated

41)     into a large number of languages.

117)     Every project member inside Tor mostly uses IRC to communicate. Vidalia is

118)     being developed primarily by Tomas Touceda. You can find them in
119)     #vidalia channel at OFTC under the nick chiiph, repectively. You
120)     should get in touch in order to see what's everyone working on and
121)     to share what you've been working on or what you want to do. If you
122)     intend to join the team, it's expected you stay around IRC, either
123)     in Vidalia's channel, or #tor-dev.
