Hi there!
I am Sreenatha(lucyd). I am interested in working on Tor Weather this summer as a part of GSoC 2014.
Hi Sreenatha! Glad to hear you're interested in Tor Weather!
Just a quick reminder about GSoC: the student application deadline is really soon, in like four days or so from now. Be sure to get your application in by the deadline!
I helped Damian migrate weather to stem(#8264) last summer and have been following the work on it's rewrite. I made an attempt to further this by writing a couple of python scripts.
- Relay Search using Onionoo : A python script[0] that uses onionoo's
search functionality to find relays with specific fingerprint/nickname/IP address. For now, I've used a global variable to store the search results for better performance in case of a repeated query. Once the database structure for the new weather is confirmed, I'll modify it accordingly. Feedback on this is much appreciated.
Looks like some fine code. I didn't spot any issues with it. (I'm not a Python person.)
- Patch for #9889 : I've also submitted a patch[1] for #9889 that checks
if a given relay qualifies for a t-shirt.
I'd really appreciate if you could take a look at my work and suggest possible improvements or provide some advice regarding the project in general.
I commented on #9889 with some feedback. But let's keep the #9889-specific discussion on the ticket.
Regarding general advice for this project, there's the project idea:

Not sure what other advice you're looking for. Do you have any specific questions?
Thanks for working on Weather!
All the best, Karsten
