why is it called tor? tor means hill and is a research facility in antartica...
why would it be called tor unless it is an abbreviation?
thanks. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.16.171.64 ( talk) 01:03, 28 May 2015
There's a probably a bunch of material in the Tor Weekly News archives.

I've just listed Shari Steele at Wikipedia:Requested articles/Biography/By profession#Activists, if anyone fancies working on an article about her. She's clearly notable and there's plenty of good content at EFF biog, her goodbye blogpost, EFF staff's goodbye-to-her post, TOR's welcome post and Wired’s coverage of TOR's hire, but the EFF biog has been deleted from here for copyvio 3 times now (as the former CC-NC licence is not GFDL-compatible). It looks like EFF have relicensed it CC-BY (which is compatible here), but we don't want a single-source biog from an organisation that has a clear conflict of interest in any case. — OwenBlacker ( Talk) 14:17, 4 January 2016 (UTC)

I am (as my name suggests) a current volunteer for The Tor Project. In order to maintain transparency and avoid conflict of interest, I'd like to make an edit request for this page to include information about the hiring of Shari Steele as The Tor Project's executive director. I've pasted a proposed edit below. It would make the most sense to place this paragraph before the other paragraph that starts “In December 2015”, as Shari Steele was announced as executive director on December 11 ( https://blog.torproject.org/blog/announcing-shari-steele-our-new-executive-director) and the bug bounty program was announced on the 29th ( http://motherboard.vice.com/read/the-tor-project-is-starting-a-bug-bounty-program).
In December 2015, The Tor Project announced that it had hired Shari Steele, former executive director of the Electronic Frontier Foundation, as its new executive director. Roger Dingledine, who had been acting as interim executive eirector since May 2015, remained at The Tor Project as a director and board member.[1][2][3]

Might be some stylistic detail I'm not familiar with, but where's the period after Inc? It looks awfully awkward as it is, as though Inc is an unabbreviated part of the name. — Rhododendrites talk \\ 06:39, 7 January 2019 (UTC)
I propose to merge Tor Phone into Tor Project. I think that the project in that article can easily be merged as a project of tor, and the Tor Phone article is of a reasonable size that the merging with tor project will not cause any problems as far as article size is concerned. Also that article(tor phone) has lots of unnecessary text that will be truncated in the process. -- Greatder ( talk) 08:28, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
