56) service</a> and put interesting content on it.</li>
57) <li>Tell your friends! Get them to run servers. Get them to run hidden
58) services. Get them to tell <i>their</i> friends.</li>
59) <li>What else needs to be documented? What is mis-documented?</li>
60) <li>Consider joining the <a href="http://secure.eff.org/tor">Electronic
61) Frontier Foundation</a>. More EFF donations means more freedom in the world,
62) including more Tor development.</li>
63) </ul>
64) 
65) <p>We also have many project-lets: short-term or self-contained tasks
66) that would be really helpful for somebody to tackle so we can keep
67) focusing on Tor.</p>
68) 
69) <p>Writing project-lets:</p>
70) <ul>
71) <li>Does somebody want to help maintain this website, or help with
72) documentation, or help with managing our TODO and handling bug reports?</li>
73) <li>We may have too <i>much</i> documentation. It's spread out too far
74) and duplicates itself in places. Can you help us consolidate?</li>
75) <li>Please help translate the web page and documentation
76) into other languages. See the <a href="translation.html">translation guidelines</a> 
77) if you want to help out. (Examples:
78) <a href="http://membres.lycos.fr/geolemalin/anonymat_garantit.htm">French</a>
79) , <a href="http://tor.freesuperhost.com/">Persian</a> and 
80) <a href="http://www.gamevn.com/forum/showthread.php?t=103346">Vietnamese</a>.)</li>
81) <li>Please fix up <a
82) href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorFAQ">the FAQ Wiki</a>,
83) and if you know the answer to a question in the "unanswered FAQs" list,
84) please answer it.</li>
85) </ul>
86) 
87) <p>Packaging project-lets:</p>
88) <ul>
89) <li>We're always looking for better Windows installers. Specifically,
90) it would be great if somebody were to extend our NSIS-based windows
91) installer to include FreeCap and Privoxy.</li>
92) <li>Our OS X installer can't be uninstalled. Are there non-sucky OS X
93) packagers that have uninstall capabilities? This is becoming an
94) increasing bother.</li>
95) </ul>
96) 
97) <p>Organizational and application testing project-lets:</p>
98) <ul>
99) <li>We've got a list of potentially useful programs you might
100) run with Tor <a href="users.html">here</a>. We also have the <a
101) href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter/TorifyHOWTO">Torify
102) howto</a>. Can somebody try them out, simplify the explanations, expand
103) them where they need it, document them better, and make them all-around
104) more useful?</li>
105) </ul>
106) 
107) <p>Programmer and developer project-lets:</p>
108) <ul>
109) <li>We need somebody to code up a GUI or other
110) controller program, to do configuration, etc. See our <a

118) BandwidthRate during some part of the day, and a different BandwidthRate
119) at other parts of the day. Rather than coding this inside Tor, we should
120) have a little script that speaks via the Tor Controller Interface, and does
121) a setconf to change the bandwidth rate. Perhaps it would run out of cron,
122) or perhaps it would sleep until appropriate times and then do its tweak
123) (that's probably more portable). Can somebody write one for us and we'll

125) <li>Does somebody want to do up a patch so we can be an NT service? Or
126) so we can go in the system tray?</li>
127) <li>A good (portable, fast, clean, BSD-free) asynchronous DNS library
128) would be really handy, so we don't have to keep forking DNS worker
129) threads to do gethostbyname.</li>
130) <li>Can somebody take a look at Martin's <a

132) and Tor</a> page, and update it to reflect Tor's
