 Replying to [ticket:2064 arma]:
 > The visitor blog post suggests that we want a python version of visitor.
 But the exit-list format isn't documented. It looks mostly
 straightforward, but things like "what time zone is that" and "what do you
 mean by laststatus" are unclear to me.

 logins with "(Tor)".

 information.

 I tried to read the source and came up with this specification:

   http://freehaven.net/~karsten/volatile/exitlist-spec.txt

 > Once we have this spec, where should we put it? On the visitor howto? On
 the data.html page?

 I think the specification shouldn't be tied to !VisiTor, but live in the
 same place as the TorDNSEL sources (or the design doc). How about we make
 it available at

   https://www.torproject.org/tordnsel/

 and add a link to the !VisiTor section on the Tools page at

   https://metrics.torproject.org/tools.html#visitor ?
