r25888: {website} Dropping task priority and alphabetising It has always irked (website/trunk/getinvolved/en)

Author: atagar Date: 2012-11-14 06:26:37 +0000 (Wed, 14 Nov 2012) New Revision: 25888 Modified: website/trunk/getinvolved/en/volunteer.wml Log: Dropping task priority and alphabetising It has always irked me that we had a task 'priority'.
