#6149: "Censorship-timeline" for Tor

 It was shortly discussed on #tor-dev that some sort of "censorship-
 timeline" for Tor would be helpful. In particular, this should provide:

  * Detailed technical analyses of the censorship mechanisms in place (DPI
 fingerprints and manufacturers, traceroutes, ...)
  * Code and data to reproduce all experiments
  * Tor patches and standalone tools to evade the censorship devices

 After all, this timeline should serve as a comprehensive archive for all
 people interested in how Tor is getting blocked. It should make it easy to
 answer questions such as ''"What happened to Tor in country X back in
 Y?"''.

 There are also some open questions:

  * How should the data be structured? In form of a timeline? Or country
 based? Something else?
  * What data should be published and when? Full disclosure too early in
 the process helps the censors.
  * How should it be presented? In a wiki page or a standalone web site?
