Hello Tor, hello world!

Below you'll find the highlights of Tor metrics team work done in
February 2018.

On behalf of the Tor metrics team,

Made Relay Search [1] a first class citizen of Tor Metrics by hosting it
on metrics.torproject.org.

Held a discussion with bridge operators whether bridge contact
information should be public or not [7], and asked the Tor Research
Safety Board for advice on making a decision.

Released metrics-lib 2.2.0 and CollecTor 1.5.0 [8] which will allow

Created open mailing list metrics-alerts@ [9] for receiving automated
notifications for Tor Metrics service-related alerts.

Tuned metrics-web module advbwdist, by halving the processing time and
reducing the necessary memory to about 25%, to keep it operational [10].
