 Introduction:
 
-The bridge authority Tonga keeps a list of bridges in order to serve bridge
-addresses and descriptors to its clients. Every half hour, Tonga takes a
-snapshot of the known bridge descriptors for later statistical analysis.
-As a guiding principle, the Tor project makes all data that it uses for
-statistical analysis available to the interested public, in order to
-maximize transparency towards the community. However, the bridge
-descriptors contain the IP addresses and other contact information of
-bridges that must not be made public, or the purpose of bridges as
-non-public entry points into the Tor network would be obsolete. This
-script takes the half-hourly snapshots as input, removes all possibly
-sensitive information from the descriptors, and puts out the sanitized
-bridge descriptors that are safe to be published.
