<h2>Tor: Developers</h2>

<p>We have an IRC discussion channel for users and operators. Go to #tor
on irc.oftc.net.</p>

<p>Read the <a href="cvs/tor/doc/HACKING">Guide to Tor's source code</a> for an
overview of the various files and components of the system.</p>

<p>Check out <a
href="http://www.noreply.org/tor-running-routers/">weasel's graph of
the number of tor servers over time</a>. To learn more details of the
current Tor nodes, <a href="http://moria.seul.org:9031/">fetch the
latest dynamically generated directory</a>. (Your tor client fetches
this automatically, so loading it yourself is just for novelty.)
</p>

<p>Browse the Tor <b>CVS repository</b>: (which may not
necessarily work or even compile)</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="cvs/">Regularly updated cvs sandbox</a></li>
<li><a href="http://cvs.seul.org/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/?cvsroot=tor">ViewCVS</a></li>
<li>anonymous pserver access (password is guest):
<ul>
<li>Make a new empty directory and cd into it.</li>
<li>cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.seul.org:/home/or/cvsroot login</li>
<li>cvs -d :pserver:guest@cvs.seul.org:/home/or/cvsroot co tor</li>
<li>(use -r tor-0_0_9 or equivalent to fetch a particular version.)</li>
<li>(To check out the maintenance branch, use -r tor-0_0_9-patches .)</li>
</ul></li>
</ul>

<p>The <a href="http://archives.seul.org/or/dev/">or-dev mailing
list</a> is for posting by developers only and is where we send
notifications of prereleases and release candidates. The <a
href="http://archives.seul.org/or/talk/">or-talk mailing list</a>
is where a lot of the discussion happens. There's also a list for <a
href="http://archives.seul.org/or/cvs/">cvs commits</a>.</p>

<p>
<a href="cvs/tor/doc/TODO">The list of stuff the developers know they need to do</a>.
</p>

<p>The <a href="http://anon.inf.tu-dresden.de/index_en.html">Java Anon
Proxy (JAP)</a> project has implemented the Tor client protocol in their
client. More on that coming soon.
</p>

<p>
<a href="http://6sxoyfb3h2nvok2d.onion/">The hidden wiki</a> has a list
of some hidden services and other things. You need Tor and Privoxy to
access it.

See <a href="http://wiki.noreply.org/wiki/TheOnionRouter">the Tor
wiki</a> for our FAQ, list of tasks for volunteers, further documentation,
etc.
