Hi all :)
This is my monthly status report for June 2023 with the main activities I have done during the period.
## 0. Research
### The Onion Plan
* The Onion Plan had an overall documentation restructure: * Now it has a better folder scheme.
* With cleaner and shorter URLs.
* And the old URLs are still supported through redirects.
* Check it out at https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan/
* ACME for Onions: * The https://acmeforonions.org project was evaluated.
* Initial assessment is published at https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan/appendixes/acme/
* And a roadmap exercise example is available at https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan/roadmaps/certifica...
* Some tests were done and documented: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionplan/-/issues/21
* Sauteed Onions: * There were some progresses related to the https://www.sauteed-onions.org project.
* A merge request was created to discuss a roadmap proposal: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionplan/-/merge_requests/...
* The merge request is linked with a ticket for the overall planning: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionplan/-/issues/16
* Another ticket was created, to handle the implementation at Tor Browser: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/tor-browser/-/issues/41853
* And Sauteed Onions is being tested in one of TPO domains: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onion-support/-/issues/66
* Other updates and improvements: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionplan/activity
### Quality Assurance for Tor Browser
* Started organizing for the next round of Q&A.
* Went back to some reported issues to research on how they can be addressed.
## 1. Development
### Onionprobe
* I'm collecting feedback on what should go into the next release of Onionprobe, an Onion Services testing tool.
* The next milestone is planned for the end of August: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionprobe/-/milestones/1
* The exact issues to be tackled are yet to be defined.
* There are many issues that can be triaged for this release: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionprobe/-/issues
* And the release planning is being done in this ticket: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionprobe/-/issues/79
* Please let me know if you want some specific fixes or features to be included in this upcoming release, so we can take them into consideration :)
### 2. Support
* Did the usual sponsored work with deployment, maintenance and monitoring of Onion Services (was also done during May 2023, but I forgot to include in the previous report).
