New description:

 [[https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/org/meetings/2017Montreal/Notes
 /OONI-TorBrowserCollaboration|At the Montreal meeting]] we discussed how
 OONI data can be used to make the Tor Launcher workflow simpler and safer
 for users. Specifically, if we ask users the country in which they are
 located, Tor Launcher could, in some cases, decide to automatically
 connect to Vanilla tor, or to a specific bridge type, or to ask the users
 further questions. The basic data on whether Vanilla Tor will work from a
 given country should be available relatively soon.

 This ticket can serve as a discussion/parent ticket for the data analysis,
 UX analysis UI design, Tor Launcher patching, etc.
