 Replying to [comment:4 pde]:
 > Open sourcing panopticlick is something I've been thinking about doing
 for years.  While there are concerns with it, the cat was out of the bag
 before we even did the project.

 Any updates on that? Just publish the code. Don't publish the database.

 Please don't mess with the priority, just as you did in #6146, because you
 personally care about this issue.

 I personally think that #8312 is most dangerous for most Tor users at the
 moment, #8170 is a simple and powerful attack and #3688 should be done
 yesterday already.

 What I want to say, from all the different very important things to do,
 it's difficult to get started somewhere and get something done in an
 acceptable way.

 Thanks for reporting bugs, anonymous user. Other things you can do is
 learning to code and help fixing the issues, paying others to fix it or to
 learn more about all these things, summarize and publish (papers, news
 pages) so the awareness for these problems increases. (At the moment still
 "Tor is fine and just use Tor with normal Firefox" still spreads, while
 critical issues are still outstanding.)
