Hi Karsten,

> Ah, when I replied three days ago I said "should I ask around...?", but I
didn't start asking around.  Hmm, turns out I only replied to the mailing
list, so maybe you didn't see my response at all. It's
here:

I'm not too sure why but I don't seem to recieve any emails to the mailing
list. I signed up here:
https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/metrics-team . Do I
need to do something else?

> However, on second thought I wonder if it wouldn't be faster and easier
to just find cheap hosting somewhere.  If you say you can cover it, can you
cover it for the moment as long as you don't have
thousands of users, and we make a new plan in a few months from now?

Yeah, that's ok. If it's possible to get official support for this in the
near future though that would be great. Even $5 a month hosting is about a
weeks worth of lunches here!

Do you know the location or the exact datacenter the Onionoo server is
hosted in? The closer these two are the better for reduced latency.

> And can I make one request to the name?  Can you call it just "Explorer"
without "Tor" as part of the name?  That will avoid discussions whether
this is an official Tor project, and if not, why it has
permission to use the trademark.

Yeah sure, "Tor Explorer" was just a generic name for the competition
entry. I was hoping to relabel it as "Atlas v2" but that didn't seem too
popular in the metrics meeting. I'm not sure "Explorer" on
it's own is very explanatory and may be hard to find a good domain. I'll
have a think for a new name, suggestions welcome!

> I'd rather want us all to write code than have those discussions.

Sounds good to me.
