projects/en/torstatus.wml  14) 

projects/en/torstatus.wml  15)     <p>Onionoo is a web-based protocol to learn about currently running
projects/en/torstatus.wml  16)     Tor relays and bridges.  Onionoo itself was not designed as a service
projects/en/torstatus.wml  17)     for human beings&mdash;at least not directly.  Onionoo provides the
projects/en/torstatus.wml  18)     data for other applications and websites which in turn present Tor
projects/en/torstatus.wml  19)     network status information to humans.  There are currently two
projects/en/torstatus.wml  20)     Onionoo clients available:</p>

projects/en/torstatus.wml  21)     <ul>
projects/en/torstatus.wml  22)     <li><a href="https://atlas.torproject.org/">Atlas</a> is a web
projects/en/torstatus.wml  23)     application to discover Tor relays and bridges. It provides useful
projects/en/torstatus.wml  24)     information on how relays are configured along with graphics about
projects/en/torstatus.wml  25)     their past.</li>
projects/en/torstatus.wml  26)     <li><a href="https://code.google.com/p/moniono/">mOnionO</a> is an
projects/en/torstatus.wml  27)     Android app that lets you add your relays or bridges to your favorites
projects/en/torstatus.wml  28)     list and keeps you always informed whether they are running or
projects/en/torstatus.wml  29)     not.</li>

projects/en/onionoo.wml    30)     <li><a href="https://compass.torproject.org/">Compass</a>
projects/en/onionoo.wml    31)     is a Python script and website that extracts consensus weight
projects/en/onionoo.wml    32)     information of currently running relays and aggregates weights of
projects/en/onionoo.wml    33)     relays running in the same country or same autonomous system.</li>

projects/en/torstatus.wml  38)     <p>The project pages of the Onionoo clients listed above have further

projects/en/torstatus.wml  40)     The authors will be happy to hear your thoughts!</p>

projects/en/torstatus.wml  42)     <p>You don't find your favorite Onionoo client above?  Want to
projects/en/torstatus.wml  43)     implement your own and tell us to add it to the list?  The Onionoo
projects/en/torstatus.wml  44)     clients above are backed by a web-based
projects/en/torstatus.wml  45)     <a href="http://onionoo.torproject.org/">protocol</a>, which

projects/en/torstatus.wml  46)     facilitates developing new applications displaying Tor status

projects/en/torstatus.wml  47)     information.  Here are a few ideas for new Onionoo clients:</p>

projects/en/torstatus.wml  48)     <ul>
projects/en/torstatus.wml  49)     <li>Tor controller extension: Extend
projects/en/torstatus.wml  50)     <a href="<page projects/vidalia>">Vidalia</a> and/or
projects/en/torstatus.wml  51)     <a href="<page projects/arm>">arm</a> to look up details for the bridge
projects/en/torstatus.wml  52)     that the user is running and display what pool the bridge is contained
projects/en/torstatus.wml  53)     in.</li>
projects/en/torstatus.wml  54)     <li>Social network site plugin: Add a plugin to the social network
projects/en/torstatus.wml  55)     site of your choice to show your friends what Tor relays and bridges
projects/en/torstatus.wml  56)     you're running and how that helps users around the world.</li>
projects/en/torstatus.wml  57)     <li>Desktop tray icon: Write a tray icon for your favorite desktop
projects/en/torstatus.wml  58)     environment that tells you when your relay or bridge is down and that
projects/en/torstatus.wml  59)     displays some basic usage statistics.</li>
projects/en/torstatus.wml  60)     <li>E-mail notification service: Improve our e-mail notification
projects/en/torstatus.wml  61)     service <a href="https://weather.torproject.org/">Weather</a> by
projects/en/torstatus.wml  62)     implementing its own relay search or extending it to report when a
projects/en/torstatus.wml  63)     bridge drops off the network.</li>
projects/en/torstatus.wml  64)     <li>Command-line tool: Implement a command-line tool that quickly
projects/en/torstatus.wml  65)     searches a relay or bridge and prints out some status information to
projects/en/torstatus.wml  66)     help debug problems.</li>
