[Adapting Nick's idea of sending this report a few days early. There won't be much to report from this weekend or the first day of the dev meeting anyway.]
Spun off the directory-archive part from the metrics website. Descriptor tarballs and recently publish descriptors are now available on a new website [0] as announced on tor-dev@ [1]. Held weekly meetings with Kelley and Colin to discuss the Sponsor O documentation deliverable. Also talked to Arlo about Tor Messenger and to Griffin about point-click-publish hidden services, both of which being Sponsor O deliverables. Fixed a bug in Onionoo where it didn't include bridge pool assignments (#12203). Improved the script [2] that provides statistics for EFF's Tor Relay Challenge [3]. Started adding two new graphs to Onionoo, namely advertised bandwidth and consensus weight (#11388). These graphs will contain absolute numbers, not fractions of network totals. Providing these graphs requires re-processing the whole descriptor archive since 2007, which is currently running on EC2 in its third week. After a week of processing, found and fixed a bug in compressing older graph histories. The new graphs should be available in two weeks from now. Visualized Kelley's and Colin's documentation overview to better understand what might be missing or redundant. Added to the wiki page [4] only yesterday, after discussing internally. Shut down the relay-search service and cleaned up the metrics-website database schema [5]. The result is that the database now has a size of 3 GiB, after 95 GiB before, and the cronjobs to update graph data are now running within minutes rather than hours. Tweaked the descriptor-parsing library metrics-lib to use less memory with the help of jvisualvm. Held a few weekly Tor Weather meetings [6], attended a few run by meejah, missed a few. Drafted guidelines for developing services to be run on Tor machines [7]. Wrote a few entries for the Tor Weekly News section "Easy development tasks to get involved with" [8], and recently got feedback from two volunteers actually submitting patches based on tasks highlighted there. Restructured navigation on the metrics website and rewrote its index.html [9]. I'm applying Bootstrap CSS [10] and Font Awesome [11] in parallel to this rewrite, but I want to have the content done before committing anything design-related. I'm also secretly hoping to discuss the design with a nice web developer at the Paris meeting next week.
