Hi,
I'm Nikola, 1st year student in the university in Skopje, Macedonia. Around 6 months ago I've put a tor relay at home - one of only two running in the whole country (the other one is placed in the local hackerspace, also the only one in the country). Being interested in internet anonymity and network security, I've started reading about how tor works and how I can make a contribution in the project.
I would like to work on Atlas and/or Compass (even Vidalia or Arm), because as a tor relay owner, I've met some points I would like to improve.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Nikola
P.S.
As a late blooming activist, I would like to contribute to this project even if I don't be selected for this years GSoC program. The reason being that in couple of years or less, you will see my country as a place where democracy quietly ceased to exist. And tor will be the only way reaching to the outside. On this note, I'd like to add that my goal is not only contributing by improving tor, but also making a shout to the free-minded
