**** Isis' October 2014: Review
In October 2014, I recieved my contract in the second week and began working
on setting up a Persona server to test its use as a mechanism for "helping
internet services accept anonymous users." [0] I sent a shorter, simpler
explanation of the issues which I encountered which make Persona unusable for
our purposes to the tor-dev mailing list, [1] while the longer explanation may
be found in the comments on #12193. [2]
I then spent the majority of the remainder of my work hours trying to
brainstorm organisational ideas for the PT/Bridge teams, drafting a proposal
to fund bridge-related work and submitting it, and assisting with the editing
of another proposal.
