There could be at least four reasons: 1) they don't believe it. They're just throwing ideas at the wall, to see who will do free work for them. They wouldn't spend a dime of their own money to do it. 2) lack of capital They think it's a good idea, but don't have the funds to allocate/acquire the manpower to get it done. If only they were better at raising money they'd get it done. Summer of Code, perhaps other outlets for these folks? 3) ideological inefficiency They think it's a tor feature, Tor Project alone should do it, even if they have the capital and believe the business case. I trust in individual self-interest too much to believe this is real. 4) Confusion They'd do it themselves but it's not obvious what they need to do. Being opaque, they work on other things first. I suspect this is possible, so I started a wiki page that could, in a future form, be useful to this class: https://wiki.torproject.org/noreply/TheOnionRouter/EmbeddedTips It would be great if those with experience could add info/links here, especially architectural elements with broad commonality among potential targets. -Bill -- Bill McGonigle, Owner Work: 603.448.4440 BFC Computing, LLC Home: 603.448.1668 http://www.bfccomputing.com/ Cell: 603.252.2606 Twitter, etc.: bill_mcgonigle Page: 603.442.1833 Email, IM, VOIP: [email protected] Blog: http://blog.bfccomputing.com/ VCard: http://bfccomputing.com/vcard/bill.vcf
