[tor-project] Infographic about Pluggable Transports

[Nima Fatemi]

Thanks for such a great input, George!

Hello Isis,

> - Which distributors are used most?
> - Which PTs are asked most?
> - What % of clients are using Tor vs connecting directly?
> - What are the most popular client countries?
> - How many unique bridges does BridgeDB give out daily/weekly
> - Did BridgeDB usage decrease with the introduction of meek?
> 
> Some of the above statistics might also require some privacy-preserving
> obfuscation before publishing.

Is it feasible and easy to extract (any of) the information George
listed above? I need to have all the information we want to put on this
infographic by the end of next week.

I've created https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/19332 for this.
