+    <p>
+    Compass was first designed to be a cli app and then hacked into a web app.
+    The codebase needs to be refactored such that the main processing code is
+    separated from the display functions(probably into separate files) and made
+    modular so that adding more features (<a
+    href="https://trac.torproject.org/6612";>#6612</a>) is easy. For example, the
+    main processing logic could be in compass.py, whereas print_groups() and other
+    display related functions could be part of a separate cli.py; web.py would also
+    have to modified to make use of this new modular code. Bonus points for adding
+    features to compass(<a href="https://trac.torproject.org/6619";>#6619</a>, <a
+    href="https://trac.torproject.org/6612";>#6612</a>, <a
