I am Ivan Tham. Currently studying in Computer Science in APIIT Malaysia. I am interested particapate in Google Summer of Code 2017 under tor organization. I am interested to see Proposal 224 coming along but I would really like to see [Proposal 272][0] and hope that tor hidden services can be more user-friendly.
there is still interest in this proposal but unfortunately it hasn't been revised since it was first posted on the mailing list. The mailing list feedback unfortunately has not been incorporated to the proposal yet; particularly the comments by David Fifield are very relevant and should be considered carefully before taking the proposal too seriously.

In general, I suggest to anyone who wants to work on this proposal, to do it using a Tor controller instead of hacking the main C tor code. meejah suggested this here: https://lists.torproject.org/pipermail/tor-dev/2016-October/011517.html
Does that mean that I well be working on the prototype with python first and then convert it into C?
and it seems like a proper solution here would involve controller events like NEWRESOLVE, MAPADDRESS, and plus some extra magic.
I don't quite understand what does that mean.
I must say that this project is definitely relevant for GSoC, but it needs a _strong_ and _independent_ student that can handle it.
I will definitely do my best for it but I will really need a mentor to help because I am confused by some parts of it as well.
Also, Tor is currently having a real life meeting so most of us are very busy. We plan to discuss the proposal during the meeting, so I hope to send a short update next week at some point if I find the time (and also merge it to torspec.git since it's currently missing).
Nice, can I join as well to have a clearer understanding of it?
I'm looking forward to any proposal comments, as well as responses to the feedback received. Also, if someone can sketch an implementation plan for the controller idea that would be great.
Sorry for the uncertainties here and good luck! Cheers!
No problem, I still see that the proprosal isn't very solid right now.
