Kinda.  There are plans, they're less immediate.

No, it currently has a web-proxy server.

Not in the image, but yes.  See I2P, GNUnet, and Freenet.

We could do that, though something more interactive might be a fun
demonstration of a working FBX.  The PDP-10 (or some other old system)
had a game you played that ran your system through it's paces to make
sure your system was in working order, but I can't find it now.

Some, it's kinda scattered and still less organized than it should be.

I'm always hoping folks will take the wiki to task and reorganize it a
