# Top 5 goals for December 2012

1. Make progress on trademark violations now that we have a pro-bono
lawyer. A growing number of people are taking tor browser and
re-bundling it with spyware, adware, and other crapware, but calling it
Tor Browser, buying domains with "tor" in it, buying ads pushing their
"tor" and "tor browser", and copying our website layout to confuse
users into downloading it.

2. Make progress on hiring a project coordinator and
support/translation assistants.

3. Finish year-end contracts and invoices to close out everything by
31 December.

4. Work on 2012 Annual Report and prepare for release in late-December
or early-January.

5. Write three more proposals for 2-3 years of funding contracts.
