Hi all :)

This is my monthly status report for October 2023 with the main relevant activities I have done during the period.

## 0. Research

### Onion Plan

* Renamed section "Roadmaps" to "Scenarios", since The Onion Plan is not an authoritative instance for defining roadmaps. Instead, it merely produces research studies and scenarios: https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan

* Started to work again on Onion Discovery, trying to draft a plan for it. More info about discovery is available at https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan/proposals/usabilit... https://tpo.pages.torproject.net/onion-services/onionplan/scenarios/discover...

* Other minor improvements.

### Tor Browser Quality Assurance for Onion Services

* Did a presentation during the Applications Team meetup: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/applications/team/-/wikis/Goteburg-2023-Me...

* Ongoing QA activities.

* Basic maintenance, including contact info update, fixing the GitHub mirror, adding GitLab CI and other improvements to avoid bit rotting: https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/onion-services/onionbalance/activity
