Could this be an "awesome list"

Note to self: look up "awesome lists" and see if this fits with that pattern

New Maintainer needed

I think this is a great project but sadly it is it does not seemed to be maintained anymore.
I think it would be great if someone else could take over the work and maintain/update this repository from time to time.

@drewrwilson i would be happy to take care of that :) It seems you are not into the project anymore which is totally fine and understandable. Could you imagine giving me access rights so that i can take care of the issues and PR's? If you have any questions/concern regarding that please let me know.

Otherwise i could also imagine maintaining a fork, but it would make more sense to update the original repo since it already has much attention.

add a tool to obtain metrics

IT would be nice to have a tool or some sort of reference to an analytics system to calculate the impact positive/not so positive of a protest:

• count number of people that die during any protest
• damage to public property
• estimated value in the money needed to repair assets destroyed during protests
• Legal actions that the opposers to the protest will take i.e. forum, the inclusion of new laws, etc
• number of hours used in the protest
• estimated number of people who attend
• number of people covering their faces to protect their identity from the evil system Vs courageous protesters who don't cover their faces

etc.
