i may not be very qualified to name projects (and this is my first
contribution to arm), but i feel that if we associate
Tor along the lines of shadow and darkness it does not enhance the
increased transparency and open culture part of Tor, but rather the
"illegal and untamed part of the Internet". i'm sure you all know this
