Before going through your list of things we'd want to track below, let's first talk about our options to turn a list of fingerprints into fancy graphs:
Would it be possible to also have a "Top 10 countries with the most Tor relays" graph?
Hi Runa!
Hmm hmm hmm---yes! Onionoo's details documents contain country information, and it shouldn't be too hard to combine them with uptime or bandwidth information to make per-country graphs.
(Wow, your question made me rethink how we resolve relay/bridge IP addresses to country codes for statistics. I was always thinking that we need to remember the full history of country codes that a relay/bridge IP address was resolved to, because a relay/bridge could be moved to another country, or a new IP-to-country database might change its mind about which country it is in. But that doesn't really matter for statistics where we're mostly interested in the big picture. We can probably just use whatever country code we learned last and apply that to the full history of the relay/bridge. Guess I should resume working on per-country graphs for the metrics website soon, for both relays and bridges. Thanks!)

All the best, Karsten
