[tor-reports] Damian's Status Report - December 2016

[Damian Johnson]

Happy end to 2016! Shockingly Christmas holidays weren't the most
productive for me. Family aside a particularly juicy cold knocked
me flat for a week. That said, here's the tor things I was up to
in December...

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Descriptor Protocol Support
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Added Stem support for new tor additions, biggest being tor's new
protocol fields [1]. While doing this work ran into some issues
where tor's actual behavior conflicts with the spec [2]. Now just
waiting for another pair of eyes.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Tor Internal Bylaws
----------------------------------------------------------------------

Progress! Taking this slow to do my best to make sure we get it
right but think we're narrowing in on a voting procedure folks
are comfortable with.
