Gordon,

Glad you think it might be useful - I don't know why I didn't post it here when I first wrote it back in January. 

I'm happy to release it under the CC-BY-SA license for anyone to use and have modified the document accordingly. I agree that it would be fantastic to make setting up a middle relay something anyone could do without much technical knowledge. Have you considered a customised build of Raspian or something similar with Tor already included, and some sort of simple setup script?

Let me know where you end up putting the documentation, I'd be curious to see what else you are working on :)

Chris

That's the entire ultimate goal of The Cipollini Project - allow
people who aren't super technically sophisticated to *easily* set up
low-power, plug-and-forget Tor relays to bulk up the total
middle-relay capacity of the network in the event of traffic growth,
spikes (Turkey being a small example), and botnets.

Would you be interested in donating or releasing your docs under some
free license (GFDL, appropriate Creative Commons) so they could be
wikified or otherwise made collaboratively editable and presented as
part of, or as an adjunct to, Cipollini?  For now that might mean the
Github wiki, but eventually the project will have its own site so
less-experienced users can do some "one stop shopping" for documentation.

Best,
- -Gordon M.
