[tor-project] Rhatto's Monthly Status Report, November 2022

Hi all :slight_smile:

This is my monthly status report for November 2022 with the main
activities I have done during the period.

## 0. The Onion Plan 2022.Q4 release!

Since the [Onion Plan session] at the 2022 Tor Meeting, I started
doing a research on existing and new proposals for Onion Services, like
human-friendly names, HTTPS certificates and tooling.

The research is far from complete, but now it's finally ready for
release:

* The Onion Plan
* The Tor Project / Onion Services / Onion Plan · GitLab

I would like to thank Raya for doing the Outreach sections as well as
all the people contributing with the discussion!

Hopefully this work will continue in 2023 and help setting a roadmap for
improving Onion Services usability :slight_smile:

## 1. Onion Launchpad security analysis

I also did a thorough analysis on censorship and security considerations for
Onion Launchpad -- an Onion Services landing page --, including an upcoming
and optional privacy-preserving page hit metric collection feature:

* Create a privacy-preserving landing page analytics roadmap for S123 (#39) · Issues · The Tor Project / Onion Services / Onion Launchpad · GitLab
* Document Onion Launchpad threat model (#65) · Issues · The Tor Project / Onion Services / Onion Launchpad · GitLab
* Frontend support for Matomo analytics (#66) · Issues · The Tor Project / Onion Services / Onion Launchpad · GitLab

## 2. Sponsor 123

And, as usual, I've done the regular Sponsor 123 deployments, monitoring,
maintenance and development.
