Hi Deepak, Utsarga, Tobias, and Yiwen!
The four of you recently expressed interest in the censorship analyser project [1]. At this point, we only have a paper which discusses what we want from the tool [2]. There is no official code repository but Tobias recently started experimenting with some modules [3].
It would be great if you all could join forces and split the workload. I understand that some of you have some constraints from your respective university. As a result, could you please reply to this email (don't forget to CC tor-dev) and sum up what you can/want to do and if you are under any constraints such as a time-limited class project? We can then see if and how we can divide the project into several sub projects.
Regarding development and coordination: This mailing list is great for high-latency, broad, conceptual, and public discussions. For low-latency questions, the #tor-dev channel on OFTC is better. There's also #ooni for OONI-specific questions (most of the developers are in Europe, so you might have to wait for answers). I am not sure how familiar you are with git but it is certainly the preferred version control system in and around Tor. So this might be a good opportunity to learn how to use it :)

Hey everyone.
I'm doing this in my spare time; not as part of anything school-related. As such, I'm not under any real time constraints.
As for what I can/want to do, I do have some prior experience with Twisted, and I've familiarized myself a bit with ooni's API. If the project is to be divided into sub-projects, perhaps the logical thing would be for me to continue working on implementing tests.
When it comes to version control, I agree that Git is the best option. I've been meaning to set up a Git-repo on my server and use that instead of my current svn-repo, so I guess that is one option. Although It might be better to host it on Tors servers.
You can find me in #tor-dev under the nick edagar.
Tobias
