Be warned, that even though two people can apply for the same project,
I think that Tor has a restriction on the number of students it can
accept. Damian can correct me here if I'm wrong.

OK.

And what would you like to do over the summer so that:
a) Something useful and concrete comes out of only 3 months of work.
b) Your work will also be useful after the summer ends.

I would be interested to see some areas that you would like to work on
over the summer, and how that would change the ahmia.fi user experience.

Yes, releasing the source code of ahmia.fi would be very useful in any
case. It would be great if you could do that.
