There has been a small amount of volunteer progress on maintaining the current bandwidth authority code.
But we haven't made any progress on bwscanner. Perhaps because we're not sure who is working on it or where it is at.
OK. I'll send Donncha a quick e-mail asking him about the current status.
To make progress, we need a list of priorities for bandwidth authorities, and people with time to make them happen. This needs people from the network team, and directory authority operators.

Meejah and I were planning to facilitate a workshop/discussion about these and other issues related to scanning the tor network. Are you coming to the meeting in Montreal?
There's also a session on bandwidth authorities - do you think we should merge the two?
I'm not sure. Was anyone actually planning to attend the session about scanning the tor network besides meejah and I? If not then merge them.
I definitely would attend the bandwidth authorities session. I think these network health issues are important and should get more attention since they very much affect the security properties of tor.
