 For 0.0.8:
 
-      milestone 1:
-        o make all ORs serve the directory too.
-          o "AuthoritativeDir 1" for dirservers
-          o non-authorative servers with dirport publish opt dircacheport
-          o make clients read that and use it.
-          o make clients able to read a normal dirport from non-trusted OR too
-          o make ORs parse-and-keep-and-serve the directory they pull down
-          o authoritativedirservers should pull down directories from
-            other authdirservers, to merge descriptors.
-        . allow dirservers to serve running-router list separately.
-          o "get /running-routers" will fetch just this.
-          o actually make the clients use this sometimes.
-          o distinguish directory-is-dirty from runninglist-is-dirty
-          - ORs keep this too, and serve it
-          o Design: do we need running and non-running lists?
-        o tor remembers descriptor-lists across reboots.
-        . Packages define datadir as /var/lib/tor/. If no datadir is defined,
-          then choose, make, and secure ~/.tor as datadir.
-          o Adjust tor
-          o Change torrc.sample
-          D Change packages (not till 0.0.8 packages!)
-          o Look in ~/.torrc if no */etc/torrc is found.
-NICK      - Possible to get autoconf to easily install things into ~/.tor?
-        o Contact info, pgp fingerprint, comments in router desc.
-          o Add a ContactInfo line to torrc, which gets published in
-            descriptor (as opt)
-        o write tor version at the top of each log file
