+Packaging:

 Miscellaneous Tasks:

   * Think about smarter ways to handle the GeoIP lookups. Our servers get
     quite a bit of traffic from GeoIP lookups and it would be nice if we could
     cut this back a bit.

 Notes from Roger:
   * I mentioned today that it would be smart if Vidalia recognized when
     Tor refuses to write its config file because of permissions, and did
     something smarter -- like handling the error and remembering the intended
     changes itself, or like rephrasing the error to give some hints about
     what's going on.
