Hi all! This week I'm getting our ducks in a row to apply for Google Summer of Code 2017...

I just trimmed our volunteer page of projects that were done last year and sadly that doesn't leave us with much. We need mentors and project ideas!
Got anything you'd care to mentor this summer? If so please let me know! Just send me a description like the ones on the following and I'd be happy to add it to our site...
https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en#Coding
Please note that all projects must have two mentors, one of which is an established tor person. If you're not part of our internal community that's fine, but please find a core developer to co-sponsor your project and act as a secondary mentor.
Anyone want to mentor this with me? Maybe someone who knows Atlas?
Improve bwauth debugging and resources Langauge: HTML/JavaScript/CSS; C; Python; Java
The bwauth system has been limping along for a while, and it would be helpful to track how broken it really is, and output more detailed information for relays to debug. We would like to do some or all of the following:
- Draft (and implement) a core-tor a proposal to expose bwauth vote
documents on DirAuths (Proposal, C)
- Draft a plan to enable detection of relays falling between scanners
in torflow (Proposal)
- Enhance torflow to expose scanner information for relays (which
scanner the relay ran on and similar information) (Python)
- Implement the analysis tools to detect when relays do fall between
scanners (Python?)
- Enhance Collector to download and archive these documents (Java)
- Enhance OnionOO to expose bwauth data (Java)
- Enhance Atlas to expose bwauth voting information per-relay to show
historical measurements and scanning status (HTML/JavaScript/CSS)
I might be able to help: at the very least I could provide comments and feedback, and we could run the code on the tor test network.
But I'm not sure if I will consistently have enough time to be a co-mentor.
