+Anonymity Development Roadmap
+=============================
+
+
+Development phases
+==================
+
+1. Use Tor for network connectivity and protect identity of client.
+
+**note:** Client side is endpoint agnostic and server side has TCP endpoint support.
+
+Dependencies
+------------
+* txsocksx: get this merged upstream -->> https://github.com/david415/txsocksx/tree/endpoint_parsers_retry_socks
+* foolscap#203
+* #1010
+* #517
+
+
+2. Use I2p for network connectivity and protect identity of client.
+
+* txi2p
+
+
+3. endpoint-agnostic Foolscap server side
+
+Completing these two tickets will make Foolscap endpoint agnostic on the server side. Therefore any Twisted server endpoint/parser can be used with Foolscap ::
+
+* teach twisted to serialize a listeningPort into a client endpoint descriptor - https://twistedmatrix.com/trac/ticket/7603
+
+* new foolscap ticket - Add getClientEndpoint() to use the feature from twisted trac ticket 7603
+
+
+4. Integrated Tor Hidden Service feature for storage servers
+
+* teach tor to create Hidden Service directories with group rx perms https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/11291
+
+* new txtorcon ticket - Teach endpoint to use control port feature from tor trac ticket 11291
+
