Hi all :) This is my monthly status report for October 2023 with the main relevant activities I have done during the period. ## 0. Research ### Onion Plan * Renamed section "Roadmaps" to "Scenarios", since The Onion Plan is not an authoritative instance for defining roadmaps. Instead, it merely produces research studies and scenarios: https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan * Started to work again on Onion Discovery, trying to draft a plan for it. More info about discovery is available at https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan/proposals/usabilit... https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan/scenarios/discover... * Other minor improvements. ### Tor Browser Quality Assurance for Onion Services * Did a presentation during the Applications Team meetup: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/team/-/wikis/Goteburg-2023-Me... * Ongoing QA activities. ## 1. Development ### Onionbalance * Basic maintenance, including contact info update, fixing the GitHub mirror, adding GitLab CI and other improvements to avoid bit rotting: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionbalance/activity ### Onion MkDocs * General enhancements: https://gitlab.torproject.org/rhatto/onion-mkdocs/activity ## 2.
