 Today was I was reading through http://planet.debian.org and thinking how
 I wished there were a Tor equivalent. There are some problems with this,
 the first one being that Tor developers are not frequent bloggers, and, to
 the extent that they are, pretty much all of the relevant stuff ends up on
 our official blog. There is also the issue that if this is an "official"
 project by us, it may be subject to some kind of speech-policing because
 of funders. (Maybe this is not an issue? I think a well-curated blog is
 unlikely to trigger problems, but would like advice here.)

 So, all that said, we know researchers, academic and otherwise, who write
 interesting blog entries, in addition to a wider community of privacy &
 security advocates. I think this would be a fun way to get people drawn
 into the community as well as giving us a more or less central area to
 point people to if they want to keep in touch with what's going on from
 people we trust, rather than having to rely on often-crappy news articles.

 Thoughts?

 And BTW I offer to be involved in setup & maintenance of such a service .
 Assigning to ponies because I effectively want a pony here.
