Description
Tor has several lists of research ideas and open questions. We should have a similar list.
Tasks to complete:
- Collect the many research questions listed in the existing documentation.
- Read our minimal existing literature.
- What questions do they try to answer?
- What answers to they provide?
- What new questions do they pose?
- Think about what areas of I2P need more research.
- What changes have we made to I2P recently?
- How do those changes affect the performance/anonymity tradeoff?

This is something I will gladly tackle over the next couple weeks, having a compiled list would certainly be valuable for increasing research participation.

V1 draft of research page - no questions

Update: I've almost finished going through the documentation and a lot of the relevant research papers, the list is looking quite nice. I imagine it'll be done in the next week or so.
I've also written a first draft of a general outline for researchers who choose to work on the I2P network and some safety ethics that it's recommended they follow. I've attached it here. If anyone had time to give it review while I finish compiling the accompanying questions it would be greatly appreciated.

We actually have a list already - it's here http://i2p-projekt.i2p/en/research/questions
WRT research guidelines page which is what jaruga attached, we have one of those also: http://i2p-projekt.i2p/en/research
neither has been updated in a while

All looks fine to me.
These may be pages that we start updating regularly, so no need for perfection.
If you don't get a response from str4d in a couple days I suggest you proceed by working with slumlord to get the changes in. You two can figure out how to do that, either manually or by you generating a patch against the actual website files in mtn or github (get them from https://github.com/i2p/i2p.www/tree/master/i2p2www/pages/site/research ) - but not a github PR because it's just a mirror.

Thank you, jaruga.

Yay 
No problem. I'll mark this as resolved for now.
I'm sure we could find some with searches (I may look at this later) but one came to mind. Unidirectional tunnels are a design choice seemingly not backed by any research papers but could be beneficial.
Grothoff's paper decided unidirectional tunnels were a bad idea with little evidence to support this. A page in our docs exists for it: http://www.i2p2.i2p/unidirectional-tunnels.html
As with many of the research questions we have, I'm sure research can and will benefit both ourselves and the field. It's possible unidirectional tunnels were a positive change and Tor may, some day, want to use them if the research is positive.

A brief mention of another: profiling.
