Hello Tor, hello world!

Below you'll find the highlights of Tor metrics team work done in
September 2017.

On behalf of the Tor metrics team,
Karsten


Deployed a number of improvements for Atlas including fixing a long
standing issue with bandwidth sorting in search results by finally
considering units [1], showing the first recorded time a relay was seen
[2], and displaying DNS names on the details pages.

Moved CollecTor's directory listings to the CollecTor page on the Tor
Metrics Website [3] in an attempt to provide a single human-facing
website for all aspects around Tor Metrics.
