The Tor Project's Organization
The Tor Project is not a horizontal organization but we try to make decisions as democratic as possible. We have a
structure
where we operate and maintain the different pieces of software in teams. Our teams meet once a week to coordinate work and also meet frequently to coordinate projects. We have a
project manager
that facilitates the coordination and keeps an eye on the roadmaps to get to deadlines on time.
In 2018, the Executive Director at the Tor Project and set the following goals for the next 3 to 5 years, for the organization and its projects:
A Mature Tor Project (organization)
Stable income flows from a diverse funding base
Diverse and robust organization that meets our needs
Strong organizational culture focuses on employees and volunteers happiness
Global brand recognition - Tor means strong privacy
Full Access (product/projects)
Any person on the planet can access the Tor network
Any person on the planet can use the Tor network to access any websites or services online
Ensure the Tor network is diverse, healthy, stable, and scalable
