# Activities of November 2014 - Started a discussion on hidden service statistics and the ways they should be collected: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-November/007816.html As a result, me and Karsten worked on a proposal draft (#13509) on how to collect the first two statistics about HS usage: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2014-November/007863.html
The proposal will need a few revisions and implementation (#13192) will start on early December.
