The idea is to have something similar to the
[https://www.torproject.org/projects/torbrowser/RecommendedTBBVersions
RecommendedTBBVersions] but with all the information listed in the
[https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/mirrors.html.en website] and
stored in the
[https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/webwml.git/tree/include/tor-
mirrors.csv CSV file]. The way I see it, there are two options:
1) Modify the [https://gitweb.torproject.org/project/web/webwml.git/tree
/update-mirrors.pl update-mirrors.pl] file, so it generates both tor-
mirrors.csv and the JSON file.
2) Create a new (simpler) script in Python that opens the tor-mirrors.csv
file and generates the JSON file.
I'd say option 2), but that involves a new script that should be
periodically executed.
We should also have an URL for this new file; I propose
tpo/getinvolved/mirrors
Ideally, this option would be helpful to gettor (since it could easily get
a list of mirrors to send) and any other app out there that needs an easy
way to process a list of tpo's mirrors (e.g. duckduckgo instant answer).
Thoughts?
