+===TLS Canary and Security Dashboard==
+Mentor: [https://mozillians.org/en-US/u/annevk/ Anne Van Kesteren]
+TLS Canary is a tool created and used by the Firefox development team to gather connection statistics on various Firefox branches, using large lists of top SSL sites. This information, along with live Firefox telemetry, helps us detect regressions, assess risk, and drive decisions on security feature development.
+The intern working on this project will be introduced to some of the components that help us gather this data. This includes Firefox telemetry probes, bash scripts, XPCShell programs written in JavaScript, and client-side web pages for reporting results.
+The intern should have a desire to create new features, and an improved dashboard experience for TLS usage in general.
+Requirements:
+* Strong JavaScript knowledge
+* Desire to learn about SSL and security
+* Ability to build usable web applications with HTML and CSS
+* Familiarity with bash programming and Python
+An existing background in security is a plus.
+This internship will involve extending the capabilities of TLS Canary and creating a dashboard to monitor other areas of Web Security.
