Hi all, hope you've enjoyed the holidays (and for a few of you CCC)! This December I finally swapped back to focusing on arm in earnest. Good news is that the codebase is rapidly improving [1], the focus for this month being... * Finished overhauling the starter module. * Expanded test coverage as more of arm gets rewritten. * Integrated pyflakes and pep8 with our tests. * Moved user facing strings to the internal configuration. I did this to improve our code, but it could also allow us to add internationalization support to arm in the future if folks want it. [2] Bad news is unfortunately that none of these improvements are user facing, and even by the rosiest estimates arm's next release is still many months off. This December I also finished with my efforts to revise our internal lists. None of the more substantial changes got much support, but this still resulted in some worthwhile improvements... * A wiki with our lists, maintainers, and a brief summary of each... https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/emailLists * We now have a public, documented policy for adding folks to our internal lists. * The tor-assistants list is now a proper subset of tor-internal. * Identified some unused lists we can drop.
