Hi all,
My name is Sreenatha(lucyd on OFTC). I am currently a final year undergraduate student at IIITH, majoring in computer science. I'll be rewriting weather this summer as a part of GSoC 2014. My mentors are meejah and karsten.
In a nutshell, the weather rewrite project mostly involves two tasks, shifting the data backend to onionoo and closing the weather-specific tickets that are causing an issue at the moment. Besides these, there is also a plan to make use of a postgres database to store weather's subscription data. After this is accomplished, I'll document and test the new weather to make sure it's clean.
Further details of my project proposal can be found at [1].
I'm very excited about working with Tor on this project and am happy to receive any sort of feedback and suggestions.
Cheers, Sreenatha

Hey Sreenatha,
glad to hear you'll be investing some brainpower into weather! Maybe you already heard that there already is a rewrite in progress, which kicked off earlier this year. Main contributors to this are Abhiram and myself, Karsten being our guy we call for help.
Sadly, progress has been slow the last couple of months, but we managed to set up a vagrant box and several scripts querying Onionoo. The latter have not yet been fully integrated, but I will point you to Karsten's weather-next branch which (I guess?) can be used for further contribution [1] (vagrant-work is in [2]).
There's also a GitHub repo [3] for the standalone-scripts, which should really be regarded as a prototypical implementation of what could/should be done.
Feel free to comment on anything, maybe we can assist you should you run into problems!
Oh, and please also note the wiki-article [4] where this whole idea originated. You'll also find some trac-tickets related to the rewrite there.
All the best, Oliver

Hi Sreenatha,
Glad to have you on board. It looks like Baumanno has covered pretty all the things I can think of right now :)
Let me know If you have any questions.
Cheers!
