 From [wiki:org/sponsors/SponsorF/Year2]: "25. research: Write an updated
 version of the Tor Design paper to take into account all the changes to
 Tor since then. The idea would be to help researchers get started in
 understanding Tor, rather than have to read the source and a pile of
 research papers."

 Last December, Steven told me that he's going to lead this deliverable and
 that he started working on a draft for a conference, but didn't make the
 deadline.  He was pondering to submit the paper to the same conference but
 one year later and publish his draft as a preprint.  Not sure if these
 plans have changed since December.

 Can we aim for July with this deliverable instead of November?  If so,
 what would be good substeps?  How about aiming for an outline by April 30,
 a draft by May 31, and a preprint by June 30?

 How sekrit do we have to be about publishing results from substeps or the
 end result before/while submitting the paper to a conference, taking into
 account a possible rejection and resubmission somewhere else?
