Quick question on the Facebook Onion Service. You said that some people 
say they didn't know about the onion servie for Facebook? Does Facebook 
show a notice (or couldn't they auto redirect) about the Onion Service 
whenever you login through Tor? That would definally imporve awareness. 
Also the plugin could become community updated over time. Maybe at some 
point the Tor Project could even fork the plugin (if open source) and 
build similar support into Tor Browser itself.
