To have a brids-eye view of all the OONI tickets the link Philip gave you is indeed the best. Let me also highlight some things that would need to be done that have not yet made their way into trac (mea culpa): It would be good to have a Tor test that specifically checks for reachability, via a TCP Connect scan, of: 1) Tor Directory authorities 2) Tor relays We are contributing to the citizenlab test-lists (https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists(https://github.com/citizenlab/test…) to add support for new input lists we would like to scan. In particular you should look at my feature/services pull request: https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/pull/9 and the ticket on that repository that describes the motivation behind it: https://github.com/citizenlab/test-lists/issues/6 What in particular would need to be done is: * Implement 2 new services called tor/directory_authorities and tor/relays. As an example you can see how I implemented the services/tor/bridges here: https://github.com/hellais/test-lists/blob/feature/services/lib/lists/servi… * Implement a new ooni-probe test that will: 1) To a TCP connect scan to the Tor Directory autorities AND/OR Tor relays. See the tcp_connect test to see how this can be done: https://gitweb.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git/tree/ooni/nettests/blocking/tc… 2) Do a full Tor connection by running the actual Tor binary. See the bridge reachability test to see how this can be done: https://gitweb.torproject.org/ooni-probe.git/tree/ooni/nettests/blocking/br… That said I would say the first thing you do is open some tickets to do the above mentioned tasks. For the ooni-probe test please file that as a child ticket of this ticket: https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/15170 > Also, do you have some experience with asynchronous programming in > general, and Twisted in particular?

I am always very happy to help you out and discuss ideas more synchronously on either jabber: hellais@jabber.ccc.de(mailto:hellais@jabber.ccc.de) or IRC: #ooni irc.oftc.net(http://irc.oftc.net). Have fun! ~ Arturo

Improving the OONI website
by Duncan 02 Apr '15

02 Apr '15

Hello everyone, I saw that the OONI website needed some love and it was one of the lower priority things on the roadmap, so I offered Arturo some help to get started on it early. Here's a work-in-progress design I'm experimenting with for the homepage: https://vtllf.org/scratch/ooni-web-b (And an earlier attempt that turned out differently to what I had in mind:) https://vtllf.org/scratch/ooni-web-a Beyond just cleaning up the site visually, I think the plain-language descriptions of tests and the install guide are both important sections that I could help improve. It's early days so I'm expecting lots would change after getting feedback from the OONI community and trying out other ideas. Just wanted to see if anyone would be interested in working on this together. Duncan
