Hello,
My name is Ivan and I would like to help out with Rust rewrite.
I'm a huge fan of both Rust and TOR. Recently, I spent some time in China and it made me realize the importance of a project like TOR.
Have experience with low-level code, being in DB industry for a few years now.
Any pointers would be of huge help :)
Thanks, Ivan

Hi Ivan,
Here are our getting started documents: https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/doc/HACKING/GettingStartedRust.md https://gitweb.torproject.org/tor.git/tree/doc/HACKING/GettingStarted.md
Our goal is to gradually add interchangeable Rust crates to Tor, so that they can be used as alternatives to the corresponding C code.
You might find torguts helpful to understand Tor's current structure: https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/nickm/torguts.git/tree/
Other Core Tor developers know much more about Rust than I do. They can tell you if there is anywhere we are focusing on right now.
You can start by building Tor with Rust, and making sure the unit tests pass. We use "make check" to run a bunch of tests.

Thanks, successfully done it!
Will start reading docs. If somebody has something simple to start with please send it my way.

If you want to modify existing code, this one looks easy:
Wrap types in protover.rs https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24030
If you like FFI from Rust to C, here are some options:
Wrap our sha2 interface in Rust which implements the appropriate traits https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24659
Wrap our PRNG interface(s) in Rust with appropriate traits https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24660
If you like testing, and FFI from C to Rust, and want to get involved with our C-based unit tests - try these after your first patch?
Test all rust functions' behavior when called from C with bad UTF8 https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24029
consdiff implementation in Rust https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/24609 (Most people's repositories are on git.torproject.org.)
And here are all the Rust tickets:
