Hi,
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.
Hello,
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 and it seems like a proper solution here would involve controller events like NEWRESOLVE, MAPADDRESS, and plus some extra magic.
I must say that this project is definitely relevant for GSoC, but it needs a _strong_ and _independent_ student that can handle it.
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).
FWIW, I merged the draft proposal from [tor-dev] to torspec, so that we have a common point of reference. The proposal still needs improvements before we can call it complete.
You can find it as proposal279: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/proposals/279-naming-layer-ap...
Cheers!
