- <h2>News:</h2>
-
- <p>
- Jul 2006: Phase two is over, and brought us three fine interface
- projects: <a href="http://vidalia-project.net/">Vidalia</a>,
- <a href="http://freehaven.net/~squires/torbutton/">Torbutton</a>, and
- <a href="http://tork.sf.net/">TorK</a>. Thank you to each of you who
- participated. The GUI competition is now ended — but don't let that
- stop you from <a href="<page getinvolved/volunteer>">helping out</a>!
- </p>
-
- <p>
- Feb 2006: The <a
- href="https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/ContestEntries">first
- design phase</a> is over, and we have two winners. The <a
- href="http://cups.cs.cmu.edu/pubs/TorGUIContest113005.pdf">CMU
- Usable Privacy and Security Laboratory</a> won "Best Overall,"
- and <a href="http://www.april3rd.com/tor/">the April3rd team</a> won
- "Most Aesthetically Pleasing." Feel free to use their ideas if you
- like them.</p>
-
- <p>
- Dec 2005: We're excited to have just added <a href="criteria.html">Edward Tufte
- and Bruce Schneier</a> to our already impressive list of judges. And don't
- forget the free <a href="https://www.torproject.org/tshirt.html">Tor T-shirt</a>
- for every submission!

- <h2>Tor: GUI Competition Overview</h2>
-
- <p>
- Tor is a decentralized network of computers on the Internet that increases
- privacy in Web browsing, instant messaging, and other applications. We
- estimate there are some 200,000 Tor users currently, routing their traffic
- through about 500 volunteer Tor servers on six continents. However, Tor's
- current user interface approach — running as a service in the background
- — does a poor job of communicating network status and security levels
- to the user.
- </p>
-
- <p>
- The Tor project, affiliated with the
- <a href="http://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a>, is
- running a <b>GUI competition</b> to develop a vision of how Tor can
- work in a user's everyday anonymous browsing experience. Some of the
- challenges include how to make alerts and error conditions visible on
- screen; how to let the user configure Tor to use or avoid certain routes
- or nodes; how to learn about the current state of a Tor connection,
- including which servers it uses; and how to find out whether (and which)
- applications are using Tor safely.
- </p>
- <br />
-
- <h2>Goals</h2>
- <p>Submitters for phase two will produce a work of <a
- href="http://www.opensource.org/">Open Source Software</a>
- that will provide a user interface to the Tor system, perhaps by way of the
- <a href="/svn/torctl/doc/howto.txt">Tor Controller Protocol</a>.</p>
-
- <p>We are looking for a vision of how Tor can work in a user's everyday
- anonymous browsing experience.</p>
-
- <p>Entries may:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Allow the user to fully configure Tor rather than manually searching
- for and opening text files.</li>
- <li>Let users learn about the current state of their Tor connection
- (for example, how well the current Tor connection is working),
- and configure or find out whether any of their applications are using it.</li>
- <li>Make alerts and error conditions visible to the user.</li>
- <li>Run on at least one of Windows, Linux, and OS X, on a
- not-unusually-configured consumer-level machine.</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>Other ideas include:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>Provide detailed information about which
- applications, ports, or packets are (or are not!) passing through Tor,
- including accounting for both Tor- and non-Tor traffic.</li>
- <li>Provide
- additional statistics about the Tor connection.</li>
- <li>Give users more control over how their Tor behaves at certain times
- of day or in other contexts (like operating as a server).</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>More examples of useful features include:</p>
- <ul>
- <li>How much bandwidth is Tor using? How does this compare
- to the overall network traffic to/from the computer?</li>
- <li>Is there network traffic from ports or applications that the user
- intended to be anonymized?</li>
- <li>What Tor servers does the user know about on the network? Where are
- they? How available are they?</li>
- <li>An interface for displaying or controlling Tor paths:
- "show me the network from Africa by way of Asia". Think of the global
- satellite map from the movie <i>Sneakers</i>.</li>
- <li>Configure other running applications to use Tor (for example,
- by modifying or working through the network stack, and/or by altering
- application configurations).</li>
- <li>Provide an elegant installer for Tor, your GUI submission, and
- other supporting applications.</li>
- <li>Make your GUI manage the Tor process and other supporting applications
- -- start them, stop them, realize when they've died.</li>
- <li>Provide meaningful defaults for a good Tor experience.</li>
- <li>Provide application-level anonymity -- that is, not just paying
- attention to transport anonymity on the level of Tor, but also paying
- attention to the anonymity of the http headers, cookies, etc.</li>
- <li>Let the user specify different Tor config option sets depending on
- time of day (e.g. daytime vs. nighttime).</li>
- <li>Provide useful controller functions for Tor servers too --
- for example, walk the user through recommended bandwidth configurations
- and exit policies.</li>
- <li>Have a "minimized view" of your GUI for common use, and then a more
- detailed view or set of windows when the user wants more detail.</li>
- <li>Provide a button or some automatically updating interface to let
- the user learn whether Tor is working currently, perhaps by accessing an
- external what's-my-IP site and seeing if it thinks you're a Tor server;
- and give useful messages and recommendations if it doesn't seem to
- be working.</li>
- <li>Provide a way to automatically configure local firewalls (ipchains,
- Windows firewalls, etc) to let Tor traffic out (and in, for Tor
- servers). As a bonus, configure it to prevent non-Tor traffic from
- leaving (and notify when it tries).</li>
- </ul>
-
- <p>We're interested to see submissions that don't achieve all of the
- above goals -- if it's useful to Tor or Tor users in any way, please
- submit it!</p>
