Comment (by lunar):

 1. Since the beginning of this project the amount of funding that was
 available has been unknown. A private one-to-one chat system can have
 opening hours. This can help adjusting how much time is spent depending on
 how much funding is available.
 2. We need a support channel where we can give out bridge addresses. An
 IRC channel does not cut it. Please note that we already have a public
 support channel. It is #tor on OFTC. The result is that no one can
 possibly monitor it 24/7 and sometimes bystanders give dubious advices.
 3. The timing for this is really really bad. The winter dev. meeting is in
 two weeks. This means we can be in the same room together at least with
 Andrew, Roger, Matt, Colin, Vmon and me. Half an hour later, I'm pretty
 sure we'll have a better understanding of our budget, what we must provide
 and how we can provide it.

 If people have concerns, are frustrated or are afraid their work can go to
 waste, just wait two more weeks. I'd rather not spent time discussing this
 online when we have such opportunity on the horizon.
