-----------------------------------------------------+-----------------
 As the initial experiment for the Crash Reporter GSOC, we intend to run
 (at least) two instances of https://github.com/electron/mini-breakpad-
 server

  - One instance will be a modified version that only ACCEPTS submissions.
  - One instance will be a modified version that only lets you VIEW
 submissions.

 We'll run both on .onions, but the latter will be set up with Hidden
 Service authentication.

 We may want to run two more (to segregate Alpha from Release) but I don't
 think we'll need to.


 As far as packages needed on the machine: it's TBD. 'npm' and 'grunt' look
 like certainties though.

 And as far as resources: I don't think we'll need much except a healthy
 amount of disk space. This is an in-progress project so hopefully we can
 grow this space and capacity if needed.

 Submission will be over .onion so direct external internet access it not
 necessary.

 I don't think we need our own VM if it's easy to have us share, but please
 assume that several members of the Tor Browser machine will need access to
 login and fiddle with the server/machine.

 For now, please set it up with me having access, but down the road we'll
 probably revoke my access and move it over to GeKo.
