Thanks for working on Tor!

Slightly off-topic but do you have any pointer for someone who would like to help optimizing Tor? The current documents portal [1] has a big "OUTDATED" banner attached, and the WIP new portal contains too little information for me to make sense of how Tor works internally.

I worked on some areas of TBB before, but still feel like I don't know enough about Tor's internal.

The spec documents linked from there are the most canonical documentation, though the gitweb link will probably be deprecated soon in favor of gitlab. https://gitlab.torproject.org/tpo/core/torspec

As always it's probably a good idea to reach out to chat about what you have in mind before getting too far with implementation. #tor-dev on OFTC IRC (bridged to Matrix)
