Tor: Contribute
Users:
- Try Tor out, and let the Tor developers know about bugs you find or features you don't find.
- Please consider running a server to help with development and scalability.
- Does somebody want to help maintain this website, or help with documentation, or help with managing our TODO and handling bug reports?
- Please fix up the FAQ Wiki, and if you know the answer to a question in the "unanswered FAQs" list, please answer it.
- What else needs to be documented? What is mis-documented?
People with sysadmin skills:
- Can somebody take a look at Martin's Squid and Tor page, and update it to reflect Tor's new RedirectExit config option?
- Right now the hidden service descriptors are being stored on the dirservers, but any reliable distributed storage system would do (for example, a DHT that allows authenticated updates). Can somebody figure out our best options and decide if they're good enough?
- How hard is it to patch bind or a DNS proxy to redirect requests to Tor via our tor-resolve socks extension? What about to convert UDP DNS requests to TCP requests and send them through Tor?
Developers:
- We need somebody to code up a GUI or other controller program, to do configuration, etc. See our control specification for details, and the rudimentary python control script.
- We're always looking for better Windows installers. Specifically, it would be great if somebody were to extend our NSIS-based windows installer to include FreeCap and Privoxy.
- Does somebody want to do up a patch so we can be an NT service? Or so we can go in the system tray?
- A good (portable, fast, clean, BSD-free) asynchronous DNS library would be really handy, so we don't have to keep forking DNS worker threads to do gethostbyname.
- See the TODO and HACKING files in the Tor distribution for more ideas.
Donors:
- Go take a look at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. More EFF donations means more Tor development.
