commit 245c76f055079a88e216b0bf5c124c584f8d6758 Author: Karsten Loesing karsten.loesing@gmx.net Date: Mon Nov 5 07:58:55 2012 -0500

Hide Papers page and prepare for removing it.

Now that tech reports have moved to research.tpo, we shouldn't keep a second, outdated list of them on metrics.tpo. Listing metrics-related tech reports was the main purpose of that page. The papers are already linked from the Formats page, and the relevant blog posts have been converted to Tor tech reports.

For now, the Papers page is only invisible, so that bookmarks still work. Should be safe to take out the page entirely in a few months from now.
