Hi Sreenatha. Thanks for your help with those tickets.
I'd like to propose a new idea for a project with a blend of stem, TorBEL and pyobfsproxy. I've split the project into 3 modules.
As discussed in my thread with Tomasz [1] the connection.py module actually has a fair bit of room for improvements which makes it a pretty substantial task in itself. I would suggest leaving that off and focusing on TorBEL and Tor Weather instead.
Besides migrating TorBEL to stem it needs some work to finish replacing DNSEL. TorBEL has been in an almost-done state for around a year now, so polishing it off would be a great help. Sebastian has the best understanding of the work that remains there.
I like your idea about addressing #8255 as part of this. Once you're familiar with both TorBEL and DNSEL that would be a great thing to add.
- Implement HTTP pluggable transport for pyobfsproxy
Pyobfsproxy's author (George) isn't mentoring in this year's GSoC. That said, Steven (sjmurdoch on irc) might be able to mentor work around this. I'd suggest asking him about it.
Cheers! -Damian
