I think you’re on the wrong mailing list ;-)
As I understand, you want to configure your Raspberry Pis as Tor relays or exit nodes, right? You should try the Tor relay mailing list [0].

I’m one of those people and my Pi runs since a couple months as a relay [1]. Unfortunately, there’s no image whatsoever you could download and just plug in to have it up and running - but I can tell you how it’s done. You need a bit of Linux/Unix knowledge, though.
First off, you need a Raspbian [2] image on your micro SD card, use this guide [3] as a how-to.
Once your Pi is up and running, do the usual apt-get update and apt-get dist-upgrade to get the latest updates for Raspbian.
Now for the tricky part. I recommend using the official Tor project apt repository to get the latest packages, so I would use option two here [4]. Raspbian is based on Debian Wheezy, and as you’ve got the Raspberry Pi Version 2 (it’s using the correct armhf architecture), you can just follow the guide with “I run Debian stable (Wheezy) and want Tor version experimental-0.2.6.x”.
You then continue with step two here [5].
When you’re done with that, your relay is up and running.

By the way, it’s not possible to have more than one relay with one IP address. So if you want to run the relay from home (as I do), you can use only one of the Pis.
Cheers!
