here are the first five metrics tech reports that I'd like to turn into Tor tech reports (see #5405 for the idea behind this).
I'd like to offer some typographical improvements -- it looks like these are being generated with mostly default LaTeX settings, which are not great for PDFs that people will mostly read online.
Oh, that would be very useful. Maybe we can come up with a template for all Tor tech reports.
Some of the graphs are also very hard to read (dashed lines don't work very well for plots that jump up and down a lot).
Right. There's always the trade-off between using colored graphs which don't go well when printed and dashed/dotted lines which are at least equally useful on screen and on paper. I'm open to suggestions there. (Note that the graph sources are in a different Git repository than the LaTeX sources.)
I see that there is a git repository for the sources, can I just clone it, make changes, and put the diffs somewhere? What would be most convenient for you?
I just committed the LaTeX sources of these reports very quickly to my new public tech-reports repository:
https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/karsten/tech-reports.git
If you can clone the branch and put yours somewhere from where I can pull, that would work best. git format-patch also works fine.
Once reports are ready for "publication", I'll merge things into the official tech-reports.git repo.
Thanks! Karsten
