Hi!

Here is a copy of my status report for the month of April, as sent to
OTF just now.  (It's sent today because this is the last day of my OTF
Project funding.)

> Hello,
> 
> The following progress was made in April 2017:
> 
>  - We redesigned some parts of our protocol, specifically with the aim of
>    improving user experience and making it easier to design user interfaces
>    for it, i.e. making the proofs about the credentials smaller.
> 
>  - We released a provisional draft of our social bridge distribution
>    protocol, now called Hyphae, including implementation and design notes. [0]
> 
>  - We designed a RESTful API for Tor Browser to use to automate requests for
>    bridges and reporting that bridges are blocked (cf. Appendix B of [0]).
> 
>  - We set up a meek-server for BridgeDB, a new Google developer account, and
>    an AppEngine meek reflector, in order to allow automated requests to the
>    new distributor be made in a censorship-resilient manner. [1]
> 
> This is our final report for this project.  We are incredibly thankful to
> OTF for their support, both financial and in terms of the wonderful
> community of fully excellent people they have worked so hard to establish
> and maintain.  As always, we're happy to help ongoing and future OTF
> projects acheive their goals in the future.  Also happy to just chat with
> any of you any time.  Thanks! <3
