 Replying to [comment:4 karsten]:
 > Exciting!

 Yes!

 > Where's the code repository with build scripts and all that?

 There are no build scripts yet, I just wanted to test it out. I will be
 doing the build scripts this weekend. Where do you want me to push the
 code to?

 > Where are the bundles?  Do you have a fixed place for putting new TIMB
 bundles?

 Probably on people.torproject.org/~{sukhbir,arlo} or somewhere else?

 > Want to write a blog post and ask users to test the bundles, with a big
 fat warning that this is beta software and there's no OTR support yet?
 But still, having user feedback might be quite helpful at this stage of
 the project.

 Not yet. I don't feel comfortable announcing such a thing. Not at least we
 have ironed out the main privacy leaks or at least shipped Tor Launcher.

 > What's the plan for making bundles for Windows and Mac OS X?  Are you
 even planning to make these bundles for those platforms, or is that
 something for the deterministic build infrastructure?

 For now, just Linux. Windows and OS X bundles will not be something
 different (other than the build scripts), so I had like to wait. I would
 also prefer for these to be done using the build infrastructure if
 possible.
