I'm just one of many folks trying to get as much progress done in this project as quickly as possible, and progress is pretty continuously being made to our publicly available goal (though as others have said, it's possible to do this yourself, now, just without the bells, whistles, integration, and ease-of-use). Your post actually got me to put a little something on the UI wiki page ;) I know it seems slow at times, but there are a lot of reasons we need to do (certain features) right the first time. The best example is the Haystack Project [0] which, unfortunately, leaked user information and actually did more harm to users because they *thought* their information was protected when it wasn't. The worst thing we can do is to project an incorrect *image* of security on an insecure project (personal security theatre). If we need to do it right the first time, doing it right takes a long time, and we need to get it out the door now, then leaving those features out of the first release might be the right approach. Doing it wrong (misleading people with our image) does a lot more harm than doing it slowly (because people *do* trust us to do it right the first time, I know I do).
