Thanks for the note. Would it be within our mission scope to host a Freenode server? We use Freenode a *lot* for public and private communications. There have been previous discussions about WMF support for upstream services, and WMF has been talking about offering non-monetary support to affiliates, so I think hosting a Freenode server could make sense.

Hi,
This is just a quick update that as of late October, WMF is officially hosting a Tor relay:
https://atlas.torproject.org/#details/DB19E709C9EDB903F75F2E6CA95C84D637B62A...
This is not an exit node, and it's just a small contribution to the network. Really - anyone can do it: https://www.eff.org/torchallenge/
We want to note that editing via Tor is a whole other matter, and I would refer to previous conversations on this list if you have questions about the current state of things. We also currently have no plans to run an exit node or a hidden service, but we're open to suggestions for additional ways in which WMF can support anonymity and privacy.
Sincerely, Faidon
