New description:

 [[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2017Montreal/Notes
 /OONI-TorBrowserCollaboration|At the Montreal meeting]], we discussed the
 possibility of creating an opt-in, embedded testing/telemetry module for
 Tor Browser that would allow collection of data on connectivity for Tor
 and for different bridges and pluggable transports. OONI could collate and
 analyze this data to give a better picture of the per-country bridge
 connectivity situation. That data could be used to improve Tor Launcher's
 connection UX, and also help compare different censorship circumvention
 tools.

 This can be a parent ticket for designing and developing such a module.
