Hello there,
This is a great idea Nima, thanks for putting it together.
I think before collecting data (which might take more work than we think, who knows) we should review the audience we are focusing here and what stories we want to tell in the infograph then list the data we should get.
Infograph are stories, we will start with the story that tells how to use it. Then there is another section with other stories -- if our focus is for new users or users who doesn't know PT because never had to used it, than listing some of these things might just confuse more than help or be too much information.

I think this is a great thing. Based on David and Linda's research people tend to just pick the first option in the drop-down menu. This will help educate people what the other options are etc. People also don't understand all those PTs names listed there, what is the difference etc :)
- List of PTs under development
I think this goes in the 'extra weight' package if our public is the one I describe above.
- Stats
- Total number of PT bridges
- Average number of PT clients per day
- Maybe compare the numbers with direct connections?
I think we should tell a story with this information -- is much better for someone to digest and understand the meaning of numbers this way.
For instance, instead of just saying the average clients per day we could (also?) give a real world case of a censorship event and the usage growth due to it.
- Links to PT page (on website and wiki)
Sounds good.
Specifically, here are some example statistics that I would find interesting:
- How many clients use BridgeDB?
- Which distributors are used most?
- Which PTs are asked most?
- What % of clients are using Tor vs connecting directly?
- What are the most popular client countries?
- How many unique bridges does BridgeDB give out daily/weekly
- Did BridgeDB usage decrease with the introduction of meek?
Some of the above statistics might also require some privacy-preserving obfuscation before publishing.
I'm still not sure why we have no statistics on BridgeDB. It seems something that could point us to future research directions, and generally help us in strategizing against censors.
I would do the same thing here, based on the audience, do we need all this?
I am happy to join a session on irc to look for what data/story we could tell on the infograph. I just can't do it today because of other work I said I would get done.
Cheers, Isabela
