Would it really be that difficult to write code for TB / develop an 
addon or stand alone app to go with the TB bundle, that at least shows 
the names & basic data of currently built circuits?
Even for a summer intern?  I'm not a software engineer, but I don't get 
what's so difficult about grabbing the basic data (already available) 
for relays in use & displaying in text format.
Yes, "we have other things to do."  I'd think some 2nd & 3rd yr students 
could do this job, or a number of viewers out in Tor-land.

Even the most basic browser shows which URL you're using - if not the 
IPa.  I'd think for persons in extremely repressed countries & other 
situations, seeing the countries in the circuits might be important.

It wouldn't have to have all the bells & whistles of Vidalia - not right 
away.  *Some* of those old features would be nice for the future.
Don't need a world map, or pretty flags of every country represented, or 
the ability to click on any listed relay (not in a current circuit) & 
get its info.

Just bare bones:  here's your current circuit & others built, but not 
used, along w/ the basic info for any relays.
