For one thing it is important to remember them, like Andreas Pfitzmann and Weizenbaum, on the other hand I would not like to see press like "Over the node "Andreas Pfitzmann" who was a German Cryptologist ran a lot of CP which is being investigated" Maybe I am too cautious about that. Nevertheless I would love a scheme, and would love something people can identify with. As a suggestions I would throw in characters from Novels, paulproteus (A players piano, Kurt Vonnegut), Guy Montag (Fahrenheit 451, Ray Bradbury), etc pp. In any case I would like to have a short description on the site of the node, what is up with the name. (In case of Zeller, Pfitz, or paulproteus). It gives outstanders a small picture which they maybe can understand. At least I hope they do :) We need to create a face for torexits and move it away from the legal uncertainties, that most people do not get in seemingly free countries. Cheers, Chris PS: there are several cases of Tunesian Bloggers, that got arrested and now have higher Positions. They might be a good point for names (with their consent) as well. As they very well understand the situation and everyone can see why it is important to have such tools in such situations.
