-<h3><a class="anchor" href="#vidaliadev">Vidalia Developer</a></h3>

-<p><a href="<page projects/vidalia>">Vidalia</a> is the cross-platform graphical user interface to Tor written

-in C++ using the Qt libraries.  It is used by millions of people

-successfully.  Our current developer is a volunteer and otherwise

-occupied with finishing his PhD.  We're looking for someone who knows

-C++, Qt, and would like to kickstart development on the next generation

-of Vidalia.  Some suggested next steps involve:</p>

-<ul>

-<li>Implementing the KDE Marble interface into Vidalia for better and

-more accurate mappings of relays to countries.  Plus, it just looks

-cool.</li>

-<li>Implementing the ability to click a country and instruct Tor to

-either start or end circuits in that country.</li>

-<li>Work on bug fixes and enhancements as suggested by users.</li>

-<li>Give Vidalia the ability to control the http proxy included, to

-start, stop, and possibly configure either privoxy, polipo, or an http

-shim we ship in the combined bundles of tor, vidalia, and polipo.</li>

-<li>Possibly re-design the Vidalia interface to have different modes for

-different levels of user sophistication.  Many users see a button or a

-setting and feel they have to change it.  The defaults are set to ensure

-users are sufficiently anonymous.  How can we better hide the complexity

-of Tor configurations?</li>

-<h3><a class="anchor" href="#windowsdev">Microsoft Windows Developer</a></h3>

-<p>This person needs to be very familiar with Windows at a system and

-network level.  We're looking for someone to help make Tor on Windows

-more compatible and work more reliably as a relay.

-There are a number of projects relating to Windows that current need a

-skilled developer:</p>

-<ul>

-<li>Develop a Tor network shim to redirect all traffic through Tor.

-OpenVPN has a network layer device for Windows that redirects traffic

-through the OpenVPN connection.  Is this the model Tor should be using?

-Or is there something else that may work better?</li>

-<li>Tor relays under non-server editions of Windows run into WSAENOBUFS

-problems after a short while.  This problem is described in detail in <a

-href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/98">bug ticket

-98</a>.  So far, there are no solutions. We think libevent 2.0 with its

-bufferevents code will help solve the problem.</li>
