## The following were our goals for 2021:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ~~Improve reputation based bridge distribution (e.g. Salmon)~~
|
|
|
|
- Better bridge distribution strategies (e.g. Conjure, Salmon)
|
|
|
|
1. conjure first priority <---
|
|
|
|
2. salmon second priority
|
|
|
|
Task 4.1 Let's build a plan for how we're going to start the Salmon research work (Task 4).
|
|
|
|
- Make GetTor more reliable and reduce maintenance burden <---
|
|
|
|
Rewrite gettor in Go to include it in rdsys <-- Evaluate if it makes sense to integrate
|
|
|
|
The hard part of keeping gettor working in the past has been keeping all the files we distribute up-to-date. So let's not forget that part. :)
|
|
|
|
- Complete integration of bridgedb into the more general rdsys <---
|
|
|
|
Integrating, not replacing bridgedb.
|
|
|
|
- Improve the performance of Snowflake for users in Asia
|
|
|
|
The destination we want is that users use multiple Snowflakes and it helps
|
|
|
|
- Snowflake network health -- have enough of the right snowflakes, have volunteers happy
|
|
|
|
Provide more feedback to users that run Snowflake proxies
|
|
|
|
- Tor reachability from various countries
|
|
|
|
Task 1.1 Automated scans to create a reachability dataset
|
|
|
|
Task 1.1 Baselines before the blocking event -- get people used to running the tools and sending us the outputs. Maybe work with UX team to streamline this process, identify usability gaps in the tools.

## The following were our goals for 2020:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
- ~~We want to have more comprehensive BridgeDB metrics.~~
|
|
|
|
- ~~We will improve BridgeDB's broken CAPTCHA system.~~
|
|
|
|
- ~~We will monitor all critical components of the team's infrastructure.~~
|
|
|
|
- Re-engineer GetTor to use multiple distributors (in addition to email)
|
|
|
|
- We want to have accurate and safely-collected statistics of GetTor use.
|
|
|
|
- ~~Snowflake should allow clients to start browsing quickly and with reasonable bandwidth~~
|
|
|
|
- ~~We have happy Snowflake proxy volunteers that remain active.~~
|
|
|
|
- ~~We have a good understanding of censorship events and performance of snowflake in different countries.~~
|
|
|
|
- ~~Build feedback loop between BridgeDB and OONI.~~
|
|
|
|
- ~~Experiment with a modular BridgeDB architecture.~~
