Hello Mike, I'm finally getting out of the prop224/microdescriptor bug pile, and getting more time to start working on guard stuff like prop247 again. I'm planning to spend a few days next week to regain knowledge on prop247. I'll check out the notes from the Wilmington hackfest, re-read my old simulator's code, etc. I know you have thought more about prop247 the past months, and it would be great if you could brief me up on any updates that I should know about. Specifically I'm wondering if you have any new insights on how the proposed prop247 changes interact with Tor's guard algorithm (prop271)? Also any other things I should know about from your work on the performance simulator? Perhaps ideas about performance, topology or path restrictions? I'm hoping that such updates might help me boot up faster! Cheers! :-)
