[tor-reports] Arturo's August 2013

[Arturo Filastò]

Considering the fact it was August I would say this was a pretty productive month.

We now have an ooni-probe and ooni-backend 1.0.0 release candidates and made a lot of progress in getting this deployed on m-lab (https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-backend/releases, https://github.com/TheTorProject/ooni-probe/releases).

In particular we have implemented the collector policy backend component required to make ooni-probe deployable on the m-lab infrastructure.

Testing and feedback on these release candidates is very welcome and encouraged.
