[tor-project] [tor-internal] Online Tor's Hackweek from Nov 6th to Nov 10th 2023

[Tyler Corn]

Hello everyone!

I just wanted to send out a friendly reminder to be thinking about what 
documentation project/proposal you'd like to work on with your 
colleagues during Hackweek AND to remember to add your proposal to the 
issue queue in Gitlab :)  See Rhatto's email below ;)  Have a great day!

Best,
Tyler
