(Assuming that there is any unmet need at all.) Hey Steve, We're currently lacking several important bridge metrics, such as: * bridge bandwidth measurements and usage, * number of bridges per PT type, * number of clients per country per PT that a bridge sees, * number of requests to BridgeDB for a specific PT per time period, * number and type of bridges handed out by BridgeDB, etc. As such, it's currently a bit difficult to tell when a very particular need is not being met. :( However, in general, we have a lot of bridges which have no PTs at all. In fact, currently only about 25% of the bridges in BridgeDB offer PTs. So, one easy(ish) answer to your question is that we always need more stable bridges running the latest-and-greatest PTs (currently: obfs4, obfs3). We also often need bridges with PTs, extremely high bandwidth, and large allowed network transfer to act as the default bridges in Tor Browser. -- ââ isis agora lovecruft _________________________________________________________ OpenPGP: 4096R/0A6A58A14B5946ABDE18E207A3ADB67A2CDB8B35 Current Keys: https://blog.patternsinthevoid.net/isis.txt
