-<h2>Tor Projects Index</h2>
+<h2>Tor Projects Overview</h2>
 <hr/>
 
+<p>The Tor Project ecosystem involves a wide array of projects, some run
+by core Tor developers and some run by volunteers. This page tries to
+organize and summarize them, both to help new volunteer developers get
+bootstrapped, and to help make sure people don't accidentally duplicate
+efforts.</p>
+
+<p>Under construction! Please bear with us as we clean up the list.</p>

+<h3><a class="anchor" href="#Controllers">Tor Controllers</a></h3>
 <ul>
+<li><a href="<page vidalia/index>">Vidalia</a> is our recommended
+cross-platform Tor controller GUI, maintained by Matt Edman. It's included
+in most bundles.</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.anonymityanywhere.com/tork/">TorK</a> is a
+controller written by Robert Hogan for the KDE environment (Linux). It
+has a few extra features over Vidalia (such as in path selection),
+but it's a lot rougher around the edges.</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.atagar.com/arm/">arm</a> is a curses-based
+(command-line, non-GUI) controller designed especially to summarize
+relay operation.</li>
+<li><a href="https://svn.torproject.org/svn/blossom/trunk/">Blossom</a>
+is an obsolete and unmaintained controller based on Geoff Goodell's
+thesis at Harvard. Its goal was to make it more convenient to access
+resources from the network location of your choice.</li>
+</ul>
+
+<a id="Applications"></a>
+<h3><a class="anchor" href="#Applications">Accompanying applications</a></h3>
+<ul>
+<li><a href="<page torbutton/index>">TorButton</a> is a Firefox extension
+that helps keep you safe when you browse with Tor. It originally just
+toggled your proxy settings on and off, but now it takes care of <a
+href="https://www.torproject.org/torbutton/design/">a wide array</a>
+of application-level privacy risks.</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.pps.jussieu.fr/~jch/software/polipo/">Polipo</a>
+is a caching http proxy that handles pipelining and http/1.1. We
+ship it with Firefox and Torbutton mainly because Firefox still <a
+href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=280661">can't
+handle</a> socks proxies directly.</li>
+<li><a href="http://www.privoxy.org/">Privoxy</a> is another fine http
+proxy that you can use between your Firefox and Tor. We switched to
+Polipo because of the http/1.1 and keepalive support.</li>
+<li><a href="http://code.google.com/p/torsocks/">torsocks</a> (based on
+its predecessor <a href="http://tsocks.sourceforge.net/">tsocks</a>) is a
+Linux / UNIX (but not OS X) wrapper to dynamically replace the networking
+system calls in your application with ones that point through Tor.</li>
+<li><a href="http://monkey.org/~dugsong/dsocks/">dsocks</a> is an
+alternative to tsocks that works on OS X / BSD.</li>
+<li><a
+href="https://git.torproject.org/checkout/thandy/master/">Thandy</a>,
+our still-under-development <a
+href="http://google-opensource.blogspot.com/2009/03/thandy-secure-update-for-tor.html">secure
+updater</a>, is designed to help our users keep up to date on
+their Tor versions. While commercial organizations buy their
+own bank vault on armed guards for their updates key, Thandy
+aims to tackle the more distributed development situation for
+systems like Tor. Its main value at this point is its peer-reviewed <a
+href="https://git.torproject.org/checkout/thandy/master/specs/thandy-spec.txt">spec</a>,
+but you can also see it in action as part of our experimental <a
