[tor-relays] [New Initiative] Tor Weather: Improving the Tor Weather



Hello everyone,

As we all know, nodes are the building blocks of the tor-network. More often than not these nodes require some maintenance, which could be in the form of software upgrades, troubleshooting issues, rebooting the relays in case of failures, etc.

As of today, if any relay disappears from the tor-network, no one will know. Tor-Weather aims at solving this by creating a notification service which relay operators can subscribe to in order to get various types of updates for their relays.

The tor-weather service will offer a plethora of notifications options for the relays. These include, the node being down, running on EOL/Outdated version, losing a flag, ranking in top 20/50/100, etc. These notifications can be subscribed & customized by the relay operators to fit their needs using a web-frontend.

Folks interested in the project can refer this thread in the tor-dev mailing list for regular updates. Suggestions are always welcomed! Please reach out to us in irc (#tor-dev) for any ideas, questions, or suggestions you might have.

Thanks,

Sarthik Gupta
