+Title: State of Common Search - August 2016
+Slug: state-of-common-search-august-2016
+Date: 2016-08-07 15:42:35
+Author: commonsearch
+
+There has been a lot happening at [Common Search](https://about.commonsearch.org/) lately: we published our first datasets, opened a Tor hidden service, switched to Slack and started doing automated UI tests!
+
+<!-- PELICAN_END_SUMMARY -->
+
+## First datasets
+
+Last week, we published our [first two datasets](https://about.commonsearch.org/2016/07/our-first-public-datasets-host-level-webgraph-and-pagerank/): a host-level web graph and a host-level list of PageRanks.
+
+We plan to release even more datasets in the future to keep our service as transparent as we can, so feel free to test them, analyze the data and suggest improvements!
+
+
+## Tor hidden service
+
+We use CloudFlare as a CDN, but we explicitly whitelisted Tor users so they should not have any issue connecting to our [UI Demo](https://uidemo.commonsearch.org/).
+
+However, some users may want to access Common Search directly through Tor for better [privacy](/privacy), which is why we just opened a [Tor hidden service](https://www.torproject.org/docs/hidden-services.html.en) with a [.onion](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/.onion) address:
+
+**[http://comsearchl2zlnre.onion](http://comsearchl2zlnre.onion)**
+
+Please report any issues connecting to the service!
+
+
+## Slack channel
+
+Due to low traffic in our IRC channel, we have switched to [Slack](https://slack.commonsearch.org). Though it is closed source, we feel it is a better, pragmatic choice for allowing new contributors to join the community easily.
+
+To join, just click on the button below:
+
+<script async defer src="https://slack.commonsearch.org/slackin.js"></script>
+
+If you still prefer IRC, Slack has a gateway that you can use with a regular IRC client. Register first with the button above and then follow their [instructions](https://get.slack.help/hc/en-us/articles/201727913-Connecting-to-Slack-over-IRC-and-XMPP).
+
+## Automated UI tests
+
+It is important that our [Frontend](/developer/frontend) behaves the same way regardless of the browser people use. To make sure it stays that way, we started doing [automated tests](https://github.com/commonsearch/cosr-front/tree/master/tests) with the [webdriver.io](http://webdriver.io/) project.
+
+We are using [Sauce Labs](https://saucelabs.com/) to run the tests in many different browsers and operating systems. You can even see our [latest builds](https://saucelabs.com/open_sauce/user/commonsearch) with full in-browser replays. As an example, check out how Common Search behaves on [Windows 7 with IE 10](https://saucelabs.com/beta/tests/1a42c35a7f4d41d59c613b0c60d7ed54/commands)!
+
+
+## Community
+
+So far we've had **16** contributors, **14** users who submitted issues, **28** who commented on an issue, and **141** who starred [one of our repositories](https://github.com/commonsearch). A **very big thanks** to them all! We hope you too will [join our growing community](/contributing)!
+
+
+## What's next?
+
+Our #1 goal remains to grow the community with better documentation, easier setup for [new contributors](/contributing) and making sure their first-time experience is top-notch.
+
+In the next few weeks, we will also update the index of the [UI Demo](https://uidemo.commonsearch.org/) with many more domains and get one step closer to a useful service for everyone!
