I might be able to do that, but currently I don't have enough free time to make a commitment.

onion-py already supports transparent caching using memcached. I use a (hopefully) unique serialisation of the query as the key (see serializer functions here: https://github.com/duk3luk3/onion-py/blob/master/onion_py/manager.py#L7) and have a bit of spaghetti code to check for available cached data and the 304 response status from onionoo (https://github.com/duk3luk3/onion-py/blob/master/onion_py/manager.py#L97).
I don't really understand what the code does. What is meant by "combining" documents? What exactly are we trying to measure? Once I know that and have thought of a sensible way to integrate it into onion-py I'm confident I can infact write that glue code :)
Cutting off the rest of the quote tree here (is that a polite thing to do on mailing lists? Sorry if not.), I just have two more comments towards Roger's thoughts:
1. Groups of relays taking the challenge together could just form relay families and we could count relay families in aggregate. (I'm already thinking about relay families a lot because gamambel wants me to overhaul the torservers exit-funding scripts to use relay families.)
2. If you want to do something with consensus weight, why not compare against all other new relays based on the first_seen property? ("new" can be adjusted until sufficiently pretty graphs emerge; and we'd need to periodically (every 4 or 12 or 24 hours?) fetch the consensus_weights from onionoo)
Cheers,
Luke
PS: If you'd like me to support different backends for the caching in onion-py, I'm open to integrating anything that has a python 3 library.
