If there is an existing consensus - it's bound to be part of the problem..

Snark aside, I'm serious.

The biggest problem I've seen w/ any of these is the total lack of
understanding how all of these same target users dealt with Government
surveillance ~before~ us and what carryover behaviors still work for them
now.

Set aside the Cryptocat project, where do the list managers or various
Faculty and Staff suggest we can gather the "requirements" from all of our
personal experiences. At least we have them to then start categorizing and
consolidating into a "message" for those trying to help the activists under
fire. -Ali
