Hi Alden, Neat stuff! I encourage you to contact the researchers involved in the previous papers anyway, even if you can't take code contributions because of your thesis requirements. They likely will have a bunch of ideas on how to make a more usable version of their program -- many programmers who write unstable code don't do it because they have no taste, but rather because they didn't have time to make it better. :) In particular, I've already forwarded your mail to Rachel Greenstadt so she can encourage people in her group to collaborate with you. I encourage you also to contact Arvind Narayanan at Princeton as well. --Roger -- tor-talk mailing list - tor-talk@lists.torproject.org To unsubscribe or change other settings go to https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-talk
