Well the big showstopper wrt contributing for me is that Tor is a Darpa sponsored project. One of the big technical issues for me with Tor is that you can probably always expect the encryption to be something the U.S. controls at some level. Although this is not much of an issue right now, it could be later and then it would be to late. Although I can expect great things from Tor, I feel that it is not for "me" persay. My background is primarily in Java, ST, and some C++ development. I would really like to contribute to this fantastic project as I feel this technology will be key to shaping the future of the internet. I would also like to know if one of the points on the roadmap for this project include implementing things like email and URLs for http-ish services. I am very excited to get in on the ground floor as well. Sorry if this post does not comply with the topic. Thank you very much for all the great information. My next step will be to pull the trunk from subversion and grok the source.
