Re: great site on Iran

Speaking of which, you may have heard of that Haystack software which was intended to assist Iranian dissidents in keeping under the regime's radar, but which ended up not working. I'm thinking that the collaboration software we're building (based on a slightly different version of the blogger network schematic I've finalized) could be used to some effect by dissidents if it could be sufficiently encrypted. I obviously don't know much about encryption but we have a woman on board who does software risk assessment and other things of the sort for governments and NGOs, so I'm going to check with her. If this is doable, I have contacts now that could ensure any such software would get in the right hands. It's probably a long shot, but I'm going to look into it.

Thanks - I think I've seen that site before, probably even linked to it. Not sure if everything on it is credible, but it's a source of information that's hard to come by elsewhere.

I sent a request for access to that materials document, by the way ... did you get that?
