* status: accepted => needs_review * component: Metrics/ExoneraTor => Metrics/Website Comment: I just attached a first draft as [https://gitweb.torproject.org/user/karsten/metrics- web.git/commit/?h=task-29624&id=1eeefc46657d64a8c83d3fc1392cfabf985d6cd8 commit 1eeefc4 in my task-29624 metrics-web branch], and I changed the component to Metrics/Website until we have a better place. I made two decisions when writing this first draft which we can further discuss: 1. I specifically left out measurement details. While I very much agree that these might be useful for debugging, I don't see yet how they would fit into exit lists. Similarly, votes do not contain details about reachability tests, even though that would be interesting information. I'd be curious whether bandwidth files contain measurement details other than results. I'm afraid that if we start adding measurements to exit lists, we'll soon want to include more measurement details, adding more and more data that current consumers of exit lists do not really care about. 2. I took out OR addresses, despite my earlier plans to include them. If we were to include everything from consensuses that's required for ExoneraTor and similar applications, we'd also have to include exit policy summaries. Then we'd be able to ignore consensuses and instead look at exit lists only. But what if we ever want to use more data from consensuses in ExoneraTor? We'd have to add that to the exit list format, too. I think it's better to leave this data where it comes from: in consensuses.
