-Tor is documented to be blocked in <a
-href="https://censorshipwiki.torproject.org">several countries</a>. Analyzing
-these censorship incidents can be a tedious task; especially without access to
-machines inside the censoring networks. To make analysis easier, it would be
-great to have a lightweight analysis tool which can be run by censored users.
-This tool would conduct a number of networking tests and figure out if and how
-Tor could be blocked. The tool's final report should then somehow make it back
-to the Tor project.

-The theory behind this tool is already <a
-href="http://www.cs.kau.se/philwint/pdf/foci2013.pdf">documented
-in a research paper</a>. What we now need is code! Implementing it would first
-mean getting familiar with <a href="https://ooni.torproject.org">OONI</a> and
-<a href="http://twistedmatrix.com/trac/">Twisted</a>. After that, the tool
-should be implemented as a number of OONI-specific networking tests.
-    </p>
-
-    <p>
-Applicants should be familiar with Python and asynchronous programming,
-e.g., as it is used in Twisted.  As part of your application for this
-project please contribute a patch for a bug in <a
-href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=!closed&component=Ooni">OONI</a>.
