+<ul>
+<li>Feb 2008: The <a href="https://www.torproject.org/people#Board">Board
+of Directors</a> welcomes <a
+href="https://blog.torproject.org/blog/isaac-mao-elected-one-our-new-directors">Isaac
+Mao</a> to the board.  We thank the Rebecca McKinnon for her support and
+contributions to the project.
+
+<li>Feb 2008: Tor is happy to announce the <a
+href="https://blog.torproject.org">official Tor blog</a>.</li>
+
+<li>Jan 2008: <a href="<page download>">Tor 0.1.2.19</a> (the latest
+stable release) fixes a huge memory leak on exit relays, makes the
+default exit policy a little bit more conservative so it's safer to run an exit
+relay on a home system, and fixes a variety of smaller issues. Please
+upgrade.  Full <a
+href="http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Jan-2008/msg00000.html">release
+notes</a> are available.</li>
+
+<li>Oct 2007: <a href="<page download>">Tor 0.1.2.18</a> (the new stable
+release) fixes many problems including crash bugs, problems with hidden
+service introduction that were causing huge delays, and a big bug that
+was causing some servers to disappear from the network status lists for
+a few hours each day. We also modified the default Privoxy config files
+in the bundles to avoid some security problems, so make sure to leave
+"install Privoxy" checked when you upgrade. See the <a
+href="http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Oct-2007/msg00000.html">release
+announcement</a> for more information.</li>
+
+<li>Oct 2007: As many of you know, The Tor Project became an <a
+href="<page people>">independent and official nonprofit</a> this past
+February. We did this so we could accept grants from groups who
+only donate to NGOs, and so our donors could deduct qualifying
+<a href="<page donate>">donations</a> made to us.
+<br />
+We'd like to extend our profound thanks to the <a
+href="https://www.eff.org/">Electronic Frontier Foundation</a> for their
+past support, fiscal sponsorship, and help in hosting some of our web
+pages, and for their continued mentorship of and counsel to our
+fledgling nonprofit organization.</li>
+
+<li>Sep 2007: If you have received email claiming to be Tor, it wasn't
+from us. The <a href="<page download>">official Tor bundles</a> can be <a
+href="http://wiki.noreply.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/VerifyingSignatures">verified
+as authentic</a>.</li>
+
+<li>Aug 2007: <strong>Please update your Tor software!</strong>  The
+latest versions (stable: 0.1.2.17; development: 0.2.0.6-alpha)
+patch a significant security vulnerability.  See the <a
+href="http://archives.seul.org/or/announce/Aug-2007/msg00000.html">release
+announcement</a> for more information.</li>
+
+<li>Feb 2007: The Tor Project and UColo/Boulder <a
+href="http://blogs.law.harvard.edu/anonymous/2007/02/26/the-rumors-of-our-demise/">respond</a>
+to a recent blogstorm regarding a paper documenting a possible attack
+strategy against Tor.</li>
+
+<li>Jan 2007: The Tor network has grown to hundreds of thousands of
+users. The developers can't do all the new features, bug fixes, and
+documentation. <a href="<page volunteer>">We need your help!</a></li>
+
+<li><b>We are actively looking for new sponsors and funding.</b>
+If your organization has an interest in keeping the Tor network usable
+and fast, please <a href="<page contact>">contact us</a>. Sponsors of Tor
+also get personal attention, better support, publicity (if they want it),
+and get to influence the direction of our research and development.
