+Nick
+  - Finish buffer stuff in libevent; start using it in Tor.
+  - Tors start believing the contents of NETINFO docs.
+  - Get a "use less buffer ram" patch into openssl.
+
+Matt
+  - Fit Vidalia in 640x480 again.
+  - When user changes the language in Vidalia, have it change right then.
+  - Vidalia should display/edit PlaintextPorts events/config.
+
+Jake
+  - gmail auto responder so you send us an email and we send you a Tor
+    binary. Probably needs a proposal first.
+  - weather.torproject.org should go live.
+  - Learn from Steven how to build/maintain the Tor Browser Bundle.
+  - Learn from Mike how to run SoaT, and try to make that an automated
+    service somewhere.
+  - Keep advocating new Tor servers and working with orgs like Mozilla
+    to let them like Tor.
+  - Start converting critical wiki pages into real Tor wml pages. E.g.,
+    https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/VerifyingSignatures
+
+Steven
+  - Write a list of research items Tor would like to see done, for the
+    volunteer page. Pick a few you'd like to work on yourself.
+  - Move proposal 131 or equivalent forward.

+Andrew
+  - Which bundles include Torbutton? Change the docs/tor-doc-foo pages

+    page too.
+  - The OS X bundle screenshots are from forever ago -- they don't

+Karsten
+  - Make a hidden services explanation page with the hidden service
+    diagrams. See img/THS-[1-6].png. These need some text to go along
+    with them though, so people can follow what's going on.
