Repository metrics are context, not quality scores. Active installations measure adoption and can strongly reflect a plugin’s age and historical popularity. Ratings, recent updates and “Tested up to” metadata also do not guarantee modern code, error-free operation, security, feature completeness or suitability for a particular site.

Overview

About this plugin

This plugin will allow you to display Tor bridge information on your blog.

The intent is to let your readers find bridge IP information without the

addresses being grabbed by censoring governments and filtered. The hope is

that many people will run this plugin and make it impossible (or just very

hard) for Tor bridge information to be filtered, but still allow that

information to be available to large groups of people.

You can aggregate the bridge information from the main Tor site, or from

an RSS feed. This is configurable per widget.

You can display the bridge information with shortcodes, or widgets. You

can change the display size and location of the shortcode and of the

individual widgets.

Extraneous

RSS Support

I plan to read Tor bridge information via RSS in the following format:

RSS Feed Site

com/rss/

TOR bridge RSS feed

Extra information

Extra link information

4:80

Extra link information

1:8080

I’m not sure where this will go, but I like the idea of having a lot of

meta for each bridge address. For now it won’t be display, but in the future

it could possibly be used for something. Maybe the person providing the feed

could specify the level of obfuscation each bridge should have? Or a personal

donation link or something to keep the bridge in oepration.

Shortcode Support

You can use the shortcode tag [obfuscaTOR] to embed the image in your posts.

You can set the width, height, and alignment as well. Example:

Here is the bridge information [obfuscaTOR width=150 height=50 align=right]

This WordPress plugin is based on the ObfuscaTOR library that I put together

using several publicly available CAPTCHA image programs. You can either copy

that library out, or grab the latest from Github, and use it to develop plugins

for your favorite CMS. This is encouraged! The more plugins out there, the more

people can distribute bridge information without the censors being able to

automatically filter it.

If you write a plugin, please let me know and I can link to you. Also if you

have more CAPTCHA creation libraries or better CAPTCHA libraries please let me

know or fork the ObfuscaTOR lib on Github so we can keep improving this.

Please see the ObfuscaTOR library readme for further info.
