Re: GSoC Introduction - Extending Tor Network Metrics
Hi GD. I'd imagine the acronym in this case is very well known to most people here, since it's the location of the tor irc channels. It's also plenty unique and search able - if it was an alternative definition of, say, 'SOAP', then I'd fully agree with you. -Damian On Sat, May 1, 2010 at 8:49 PM, downie - downgeo...@hotmail.com wrote: Date: Sat, 1 May 2010 17:12:45 -0400 Subject: GSoC Introduction - Extending Tor Network Metrics From: xckj...@gmail.com To: or-talk@freehaven.net Hey everyone, I'm Kevin Berry, one of the GSoC students working for Tor this summer.
