Comment:

 We have discussed this a bit with gsathya, karsten and mo.

 I think we have reached a consensus on the fact that compass and atlas
 should be merged into one tool in the following way.

 Compass + Atlas (Adventurer?) should be only a frontend to onionoo.

 What is currently missing inside of Atlas that is part of Compass is the
 ability to perform advanced searches for relays. This would be implemented
 by making the search functionality support more advanced parameter
 searches.

 The parameter based filtering logic that is currently part of compass
 should end up inside of onionoo.

 The currently missing features in onionoo are:

 * "select only relays suitable for exit position", this should probably
 implement a search parameter based on the value of "flag".

 * "select only relays suitable for guard position", this should also be
 implemented a parameter on the value of "flag"

 * "select relays by AS number"

 I would suggest we port Atlas to use angular.js and integrate the parts of
 relevant code from Compass.

 **Adventurer** should only be a front end written in HTML/JS and not do
 any of the heavy lifting of parsing the onionoo responses and extracting
 the results (in python). All the necessary filtering and parsing activity
 should be done in the browser.
