Reporters sans frontiers announced that it is launching a new project to accept leaked docs from journalists, bloggers, dissidents, etc. It held a hackathon last week in Paris on the topic. Does anyone know more about it, i.e. has participated in the hackathon, have been invited to audit the code, etc?
