<p>
    Vidalia is a cross-platform graphical controller for the <a href="<page index>">Tor</a> software, built using the <a href="http://qt.nokia.com/">Qt</a> framework. Vidalia runs on most platforms supported by Qt 4.3 or later, including Microsoft Windows, Apple OS X, and Linux or other Unix variants using the X11 window system.
    </p>
    <p>
    Vidalia lets you start and stop Tor, see how much bandwidth you are
consuming, see how many circuits you currently have active, see where
these circuits are connected on a global map, view messages from Tor
about its progress and current state, and let you configure your Tor
client, bridge, or relay with a simple interface.  Included in Vidalia
is an extensive help system which helps you understand all of the
options available to you.  All of these features are translated
into a large number of languages.

    Vidalia is always looking for volunteers that want to help in development.
    To start you should first take a look at the
    <a href="https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en"> volunteer
    page</a> and see if there is something that interests you the most.

Vidalia's source code can be found in the SVN repository. The checkout URL
    is: http://svn.torproject.org/vidalia. You should get to know how Vidalia
    works internally in order to work with it. To do this you should know C++
    and Qt.
    </p>

<p>
    If you intend to start coding already, please read and follow the
    <a href="https://svn.torproject.org/vidalia/vidalia/trunk/HACKING">HACKING
    guide</a>.
    If you have a patch for a feature or a bug fix, first check the
    <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/report/27">tickets that
    are already submitted</a>, if there isn't a suited one for your patch, you
    can submit a <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/newticket">new ticket</a>
    selecting Vidalia as its Component.
    </p>

<p>
    Every project member inside Tor mostly uses IRC to communicate. Vidalia is
    being developed currently by Matt Edman and Tomas Touceda. You can find
    them in #vidalia channel at OFTC under the nicks edmanm and chiiph,
    repectively. You should get in touch in order to see what's everyone working
    on and to share what you've been working on or what you want to do. If you
    intend to join the team, it's expected you stay around IRC, either in Vidalia's
    channel, or #tor-dev.
