Modified: website/trunk/getinvolved/en/volunteer.wml Log: Removing unresponsive people from listing of project mentors
Over a week back I asked everyone listed as potential mentors if they could do it again this year and if their projects were still relevant. Most people replied but a few, understandably were too busy to do so. This included Erinn, Nick, Nathan, and Robert Hogan.
Removing them as being potential mentors and dropping the projects that they were the sole mentor for. This included...
* Improve our unit testing process (Nick, Erinn) * Simulator for slow Internet connections (Nick) * Make torsocks/dsocks work on OS X (Robert Hogan) * Orbot integration library and community outreach (Nathan)
We can add them back later on if they change their minds.
