Seeking to change Ideas page:
|
|
|
|
- Link to blog posts on research questions
|
|
|
|
- Mike notes: there are 2-3 posts coming out soon
|
|
|
|
- Linking to other things tagged research
|
|
|
|
- And Chelsea’s post
|
|
|
|
- Would like to have something a bit more permanent and regularly updated on this
|
|
|
|
- Issue — so many changes that it’s hard to keep it up
|
|
|
|
- Can we have high-level summaries on a page and links from there to detailed blog posts?
|
|
|
|
- 2 audiences:
|
|
|
|
- 1st-year grad students: overview would be helpful, more static
|
|
|
|
- Profs: want to know from Tor on what Tor team thinks about research: more dynamic
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
The high-level static ideas page
|
|
|
|
- Have a set of ~3 papers about an idea to get started
|
|
|
|
- Other info: Basics on Tor, like the torspec and other materials
|
|
|
|
- sounds useful
|
|
|
|
- It’s “Tor” not TOR!
|
|
|
|
- Thinking to move anonbib into the research page
|
|
|
|
- Though maintaining anonbib is too much work
|
|
|
|
- Suggestion: instead of anonbib, include only very Tor-relevant papers in the Tor research papers page (Torbib)
|
|
|
|
- Automation: grab Tor stuff from CCS and other conferences?
|
|
|
|
- Have people submit things and vet them?
|
|
|
|
- What about fuzzy partially Tor papers? Doesn’t have to be perfect
|
|
|
|
- Proposal: this would be a lektor site: Same as the support site and such
|
|
|
|
- Note: upcoming change is that this might be replaced with a github process, but point is the same
|
|
|
|
- It would be great to have a list of research groups working on Tor stuff
|
|
|
|
- Current list is very incomplete
|
|
|
|
- Link to research groups
|
|
|
|
- Can this be tracked through the Torbib effort?
|
|
|
|
- Can professors teaching Tor-related research classes manage some of the work?
|
|
|
|
- Can Roger Dingledine post on the blog drawn from the NSF proposals that indicate the research impact of Tor
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Dynamic thing:
|
|
|
|
- Nikita goes on Tor IRC to read about what people think about research
|
|
|
|
- It would be helpful to have summaries from Tor people on what they think about a paper
|
|
|
|
- e.g. Why not implement this now? What is not known here? What they don’t like? Why does it not solve the problem?
|
|
|
|
- This would be work, who would do it?
|
|
|
|
- Note: even keeping up anonbib is not viable
|
|
|
|
- Get grad students in each area to manage it? Give them credit on the page.
|
|
|
|
- JSOC-style. Pair grad student with Tor person to write a shared post
|
|
|
|
- Can keep these on the blog? Citable thing.
|
|
|
|
- Make them into an IEEE Magazine article? Oh, maybe not enough new for that?
|
|
|
|
- How to assign grad students to this?
|
|
|
|
- The interested student can jump into it
|
|
|
|
- Find a couple of students to seed a couple of areas
|
|
|
|
- Need an editorial process with Tor.
|
|
|
|
- First the student IDs the papers and gets the thing started, then pair w/ Tor person
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Mailing list
|
|
|
|
- Hey, we should have a Tor researcher mailing list!
|
|
|
|
- public archives? or not?
|
|
|
|
- suggested to treat things as a public list, since you don’t know who’s on there
|
|
|
|
- Criteria: published a paper on Tor? sufficient but not necessary.
|
|
|
|
- Criteria: have a Syverson number of at most 3
|
|
|
|
- Nobody wants to moderate the list, so gatekeep the list
|
|
|
|
- No per-message moderation
|
|
|
|
- Only established Tor researchers
|
|
|
|
- Would also allow Tor staff
|
|
|
|
- What about researchers new to Tor research? It’s a trade-off.
|
|
|
|
- Maybe can get invited, and 2nd layers?
|
|
|
|
- Will figure it out later, but definitely create the list
|

Chelsea’s Post
|
|
|
|
- How to get your research implemented into Tor
|
|
|
|
- e.g. standardized, reproducible
|
|
|
|
- Should this be on the portal? Some weak consensus on yes.
|
|
|
|
- Are there things that should be changed?
