Comment(by nickm):

 I'd also like to know more about code and protocol review. WRT the
 protocol(s), there's some spec material on the website, and some in the
 source distribution, but none of it seems to provide enough detail to
 reimplement a compatible version of the protocol.

 The cryptographic information appears to do cryptography in javascript;
 that can get pretty scary.  Quality-of-implementation appears less than
 what we'd accept for new cryptography in Tor proper: for example, the
 Curve25519 implementation here does nothing to avoid timing attacks.
