 We need to decide which client we would use for the new bundle.  We
 analyzed three options:
 [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2013-October/005544.html
 Pidgin/libpurple], [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-
 dev/2013-October/005546.html xmpp-client], and
 [https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2013-October/005555.html
 Instantbird].  We picked Instantbird because even though it lacks Off-the-
 Record support (which we will work on), it meets all the other goals,
 including having a clean user interface, good protocol support, pure
 JavaScript implementations, cross-platform bundles, support for multiple
 languages and also the fact that we can use the in-house Mozilla
 expertise.  That concludes this task.
