Thanks for sharing - Psiphon certainly seems promising, for people with specific trust models (rather different from Tor users) and want to use a hassle-free encrypted proxy. They have very prominent sponsors too -- wonder if those sponsors will be interested in Tor as well? ;-)

You just reminded me of this:

Not that it directly relates to your question (and I have not taken a very close look at it yet), but perhaps this might be useful to your friends. :-)
Cheers,
