https://github.com/inf0/Tor-XMPP-Bot

the Google Docs API commands are figured out. Their Documentations are
outdated, because the latest version of the API which is in python is in
the "Labs".

I think that a switch statement should be enough. We're not going to have
that many commands.
> 1. Maintain a copy of https://www.torproject.org/dist/torbrowser/ on
gogole docs so we don't have to upload files for each request.
Yep, just make sure you're always serving the latest copy of TBB.
> * We can rsync /torbrowser folder local and make zip files that
include: tor-browser-LANGUAGE, short-manual-LANGUAGE and signature files.
> * Note: Do we need to checksum or sign the zip file aswell?
I'm tempted to say no. The important thing is the signature of the TBB
file, which will be inside the zip we send them.
> 1. Rate Limiting

hashes of the emails for more privacy

information. For example, we only respond to a specific hash only once 3
hours.
You want to respond with something (just not a package) to users who
request packages more than once within three hours.
> * we can store other statistical data such as language of the tor-
browser being shared.
Data on the number of packages requested per day per language would be
nice to have.
> 4. Local Cache of Google Doc IDs, every-time we upload a file to Google
Docs, we are given an ID in this format:
!file:0B7_66m3z_nCiZGI2MzU3MGUtYWFmZi00ZThkLWE2NWEtZDMyNzcyZTlkYWQ2
What does this ID tell us? Do we need to save it?
> To test the Bot I have started with a test command which runs when you
send it "test" command:python share.py runa.sandvik@xxxxxxxxx password
What exactly does this command do? Does it start up a Tor bot with my
personal account?
