+
+External constraints:
+
+  - mid July
+W   - Take the results from instrumenting directory downloads on Tor
+      clients, and analyze/simulate some alternate approaches. Finish
+      proposal for how to improve things, iterate based on feedback,
+      convince us that the anonymity tradeoffs and/or scalability
+      tradeoffs are acceptable.
+
+  - mid August
+KS  - Design hidden service improvements, evaluate them and consider
+      security properties: write some proposals, get feedback, revise
+      them, etc.
+?   - nlnet 'user safety contest'. submit torbrowser, others?
+
+  - end of August
+I   - Auto update
+      o Vidalia learns when Tor thinks it should be updated
+R     - Tor status events should suggest a new version to switch to
+I     - Figure out a good PKI, document the design, assess security issues:
+        "write a proposal"
+      - Vidalia fetches the new one via Tor when possible, but fetches
+        it without Tor "when necessary", whatever that means.
+        - Give an interface for notifying the user, and letting her
+          decide to fetch and decide to swap out the old Tor for the new.
+      - Do the same for Polipo
+      - and for Vidalia itself
+
+  - end of September
+NSE - Write first draft of research study for Paul's research problem.
+      This should be at least vaguely related to what was discussed in
+      the end-of-May deliverable.
+
+  - mid October
+KS  - Finish implementation of hidden service improvements: have a set
+      of patches that you think work.
+W   - Finish implementation of directory overhead changes: have a set
+      of patches that you think work.
+
+  - mid January
+KS  - Finish testing, debugging, unit testing, etc the hidden service
+      changes. Have it in the development version and in use.
+W   - Finish testing, debugging, unit testing, etc the directory overhead
+      changes. Have it in the development version and in use.
