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?
Hello,
I think a well made controller-based prototype in Python and one or two PoC integrations of simple name systems (e.g. local hosts file, remote hosts file) should be fine for a GSoC summer project.
If we like the controller prototype we could consider writing it in C in the future.
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.
Please check control-spec.txt for a description of those events: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/tree/control-spec.txt It might make things clearer.
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.
Hmm. Which parts did you find confusing?
Cheers!
