It would be nice if atlas would show absolute and relative trending information about how well a relay (or family) does (better, worse, unchanged) when it comes to CW and CW fraction. i.e. with arrow up / down signs with green/red indicators "This relay's CW fraction increased by xx" To better interpret this information, it could be put in context with: "...while the tor network grew by xxx 'cw capacity' " "This relay's absolute CW value increased by xx" I find it best to use weekly stats (compare last 7 days vs. the week before that) to ignore day of the week fluctuations. For the general health of the tor network I would find it good if relay operators looking at their relays on atlas get an immediate traffic light based indicator: examples: green: relay runs the latest stable version, has non-empty contactinfo yellow: empty contactinfo, myfamily misconfiguration, plaintext protocols only in exit policy red: runs not recommended version Or maybe have a rating with letters A, B, C, D, ... instead of a traffic light based approach.
