+    <p>

+    Relay operators presently have a couple options for monitoring the status

+    of their relay: <a

+    href="https://www.torproject.org/getinvolved/volunteer.html.en#project-vidalia">Vidalia</a>

+    which is a gui and <a href="https://www.atagar.com/arm/">arm</a> which uses

+    curses. This project would be to make a new kind of monitor specifically

+    for relay operators that provides a status dashboard site on localhost.

+    </p>

+    <p>

+    The interface will likely <a

+    href="https://www.atagar.com/arm/screenshots.php">borrow heavily from

+    arm</a>, except of course in areas where we can improve upon it. Two

+    important design constraints is that a localhost controller provides a

+    bigger attack surface than guis or curses, so we should be a little more

+    wary of what it does. This should be a read-only controller (ie, you can't

+    *do* anything to the relay) and by default not surface any sensitive

+    information (such as arm's connection panel).

+    </p>

+    <p>

+    This project will likely include two parts: an AJAX site and a localhost

+    daemon to fulfill those requests. <a

+    href="https://stem.torproject.org/">Stem</a> is the backend of arm, and can

+    be used to get everything you see in arm's interface (making it a natural

+    choice for the daemon). That said, this project might entail some Stem

+    improvements if we run across any gaps.

+    </p>

+    <p>

+    Applicants should be familiar with Python, JavaScript, and learn about

+    <a href="https://stem.torproject.org/">Stem</a>. <b>As part of your

+    application for this project please make both mockups of the interface and

+    a proof of concept demo application using JS to surface something with

+    Stem. <a

+    href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/doc/stem/bugs">Involvement

+    with Stem development</a> during the application process is also a big

+    plus.</b>
