Hello Karsten,
Do you think rewriting/maintaining/fixing Tor Weather would make a nice GSoC project? What I mean by this is that do you think it can be three months of work at least, with scope for future improvements to be carried out later?
If yes, we should propose this as a GSoC project and then see if we can find someone to mentor it.
Fine questions. Maybe take a look at the Weather in 2014 wiki page:
https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/weather-in-2014
I'm not enough of a web front-end developer to say how hard it is to rewrite Weather. But I think the back-end can be easily solved by using Onionoo's data instead of writing a Tor controller and keeping an own relay database.
I think three months is sufficient to produce something useful.
The question of finding a mentor might be more difficult to answer. I would offer to be backup mentor and also to answer questions about Onionoo. But we'd still have to find a primary mentor. How about you? :)
All the best, Karsten
