+<h2>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE</h2>
+</br>
+<h2><strong>THE TOR PROJECT ANNOUNCES THREE-YEAR DEVELOPMENT ROADMAP</strong></h2>
+</br>
+<p><strong>DEDHAM, MA</strong> - The Tor Project has published its <a
+href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/tor/trunk/doc/roadmaps/2008-12-19-roadmap-full.pdf">three year
+development roadmap</a>, focused on providing anti-censorship tools and
+services for the advancement of Internet freedom in closed
+societies.</p>
+
+<p>Tor's tools and technologies are already used by hundreds of
+thousands of people to protect their activities online. These
+users include journalists and human rights workers in politically
+rigid countries communicating with whistleblowers and dissidents.
+Law enforcement officers on Internet sting operations stay
+anonymous with Tor, as do people wanting to post socially
+sensitive information in chat rooms, like rape or abuse survivors
+and those with illnesses. The Tor network also provides
+protection for people looking for another layer of privacy from
+the millions of websites and ISPs bent on collecting private
+information and tracking their moves online.</p>
+
+<p>While Tor's original goal was to provide this important
+anonymity, many people around the world use Tor to get around
+Internet censorship, as well. <a href="http://www.hrw.org/">Human
+Rights Watch</a> and <a href="http://globalvoicesonline.org/">Global
+Voices Online</a> have both recommended Tor as a tool to circumvent
+censorship regimes in oppressive nations. The roadmap is focused
+on providing anti-censorship tools and services for the
+advancement of Internet freedom in closed societies.</p>
+
+<p>"If your Internet provider can't see what sites you're looking
+at, that also means they can't prevent you from reaching sites
+they don't want you to see," said Roger Dingledine, Tor Project
+Leader. "This new roadmap with support from the larger community
+will let us make Tor even better at fighting censorship. With
+three years of funding, we can tackle larger problems than
+before, and we can focus on making sure that Tor can grow to
+handle all the people who want to use it."</p>
+
+<p>Tor welcomes additional sponsors to join <a
+href="https://www.torproject.org/sponsors">current sponsors</a>;
+such as the Broadcasting Board of Governors, the NLnet Foundation,
+and hundreds of individual donors. While existing funders are enough to
+get the items on the roadmap started, an additional $2.1 million over the
+next three years will turn the roadmap into usable tools.</p>
+</br>
+<h2>ABOUT THE TOR PROJECT</h2>
+</br>
+<p>Based in Dedham, MA, The Tor Project
+develops free and open-source software that provides online
+anonymity to the everyday Internet user. Tor was born out of a
+collaboration with the U.S. Naval Research Lab starting in 2001,
+and it became an official U.S. 501(c)(3) non-profit in 2006. The
+Tor Project now works with many individuals, NGOs, law
+enforcement agencies, and businesses globally to help them
+protect their anonymity online.</p>
+
+<p>In addition to its efforts developing and maintaining the Tor
+anonymity software and the Tor network, The Tor Project also
+helps to lead the research community in understanding how to
+build and measure scalable and secure anonymity networks. The Tor
+developers publish several new research papers each year in major
+academic security conferences, and just about every major
+security conference these days includes a Tor-related paper.</p>
