Re: [tor-dev] . tor-roster's geo diversity badge, recommended version check broken, exit badge for guard family?



Hi,

roster's recommended tor version check seems broken, example:

http://tor-roster.org/family_detail/963ADC0137505151C1AFA6757DD2367EDEEC7B62

Runs Recommended Tor Version For All Relays: false

but all relays run 0.2.4.27 - which is currently a 'recommended version'
as per
https://consensus-health.torproject.org/#recommendedversions

Why does that family has a exit bw badge if it doesn't provide any exit
relays?

Displaying guard probability would be nice.

How about keeping it simple? "All relays run in countries with a CW
fraction < 5%" ?

you could simply use compass output.

Yes, please.
