 propose shutting Trac down without redirects. As I see it there's three
 open questions...

 https://dip.torproject.org/ to see what my projects look like on it but
 I'm presented with a login page. As an open source developer this makes it
 DOA right from the starting gate. :)

 Atagar, projects have not been migrated yet, but you can still check how
 everything looks like by using your tpo email and request a password
 reset.
