 A user from China suggests at

 strategies#comment-3336 :
 "I have a fairly long list of bridges in my settings tab now, and I have
 no
 idea which are actually of any use to me, and which are dead. Would it be
 possible to have some visual indicator in the Vidalia bridge config dialog
 that shows which bridges are healthy and which are not?"

 This is a great idea, and we should do it. Perhaps Tor should expose this
 info
 via a 'getinfo bridge-status' or equivalent, and then we can show which
 ones
 are configured, which we have a fresh descriptor for, which we've found
 reachable, etc. Once we've got the Tor side figured out, then Vidalia
 could
 ask for the bridge status when you open the bridge config window, and mark
 them
 as appropriate.
