[tor-project] Online Tor's Hackweek - Nov 6th to Nov 19th, 2023

[Tyler Corn]

Hello everyone!

Thank you to those who submitted their ideas for Hackweek projects in 
Gitlab :)  Tomorrow's All Hands meeting is devoted to Hackweek project 
proposal presentations.  So, those who submitted a Hackweek project 
proposal and *plan to work on those projects during Hackweek*, please be 
prepared to present the proposal tomorrow (Nov. 1st) during the All 
Hands meeting.  You'll have 5 minutes max to present.

See you all at the All Hands meeting!

Best,
Tyler

P.S. Gaba moved user documentation guidelines (that Gus wrote this year) 
into a wiki page on Gitlab. It's good practice to attempt to follow 
those guidelines as much as possible :)
