+ <p><a href="https://gitweb.torproject.org/doctor.git">DocTor</a>, also |
|
| 856 |
+ known as the consensus-health checker, is a service that periodically |
|
| 857 |
+ checks the Tor network for consensus conflicts and other hiccups. In order |
|
| 858 |
+ to do so it downloads the Tor consensus and votes from the Tor directory |
|
| 859 |
+ authorities and checks them for consensus problems. DocTor writes its |
|
| 860 |
+ findings to local files which can then be sent to a <a |
|
| 861 |
+ href="https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-consensus-health">mailing |
|
| 862 |
+ list</a> or IRC bot (nsa in #tor-bots on OFTC), or which can be served by |
|
| 863 |
+ an <a href="https://metrics.torproject.org/consensus-health.html">HTTP |
|
| 864 |
+ server</a>.</p> |
|
| 865 |

|
| 866 |
+ <p>This project would be about rewriting DocTor in Python and using Stem |
|
| 867 |
+ for the descriptor parsing. This would require extending Stem to download |
|
| 868 |
+ consensuses and votes (and later server descriptors for Damian's |
|
| 869 |
+ consensus checker), and it would require rewriting the DocTor code in |
|
| 870 |
+ Python.</p> |
