-<ul>

59

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

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

-cool.</li>
|
62

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

63
|

-either start or end circuits in that country.</li>
|
64
|
|
-<li>Work on bug fixes and enhancements as suggested by users.</li>

65

66

67

|
68
|
|
-<li>Possibly re-design the Vidalia interface to have different modes for
|
69
|
|
-different levels of user sophistication. Many users see a button or a
|
70
|
|
-setting and feel they have to change it. The defaults are set to ensure

71

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