Hi everyone,
Is there any project in little-t tor that needs another hacker? I have (under another name) been writing tor unit tests, which I've "finished". What should I work on next? Happy to work on either new code or more unit tests.
I'm also reasonably skilled with python, if any pythonic project needs a hand, particularly OONI, which I love the idea of (I won't CC the ooni dev list, as I assume you're all on here).

FWIW, if you want to keep doing little-t-tor stuff and you like Hidden Services, you might enjoy https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/8950
The ticket is still an unsolved mystery.
If I were to approach that ticket, I would fetch the descriptors of a few HSes, to see whether the IP calculation formula actually has a problem. If that's the case, I would start toying around with the formula, to find out which variable is causing it to fail.
If you are not familiar with the topic, check the "Hidden Service Scaling" paragraph of https://blog.torproject.org/blog/hidden-services-need-some-love and of course read rend-spec.txt religiously: https://gitweb.torproject.org/torspec.git/blob/HEAD:/rend-spec.txt
Cheers!
