Dropping 'Improving TorBirdy'

Browse Source 
When I've spoken with Sukhbir he mentioned that he doesn't think there's enough
torbirdy tasks remaining to fill a summer. We can add this back in if he
changes his mind.

<p>
TorBirdy is Torbutton for Thunderbird, Icedove and related Mozilla mail
clients.
</p>
<p>
TorBirdy is under active development and is available from <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/wiki/torbirdy">our wiki</a>
and <a
href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/thunderbird/addon/torbirdy/">mozilla's
addons site</a>.
</p>
<p>
The goal of this project is to improve TorBirdy by:
</p>
<ul>
<li>
Writing a Thunderbird patch to plug known leaks. We have already <a
href="https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=776397">submitted a
patch to Thunderbird</a> but we anticipate there will be much more work
required before it is accepted, possibly involving rewriting the entire
patch; this appears trivial, but it is not, as we are proposing a
completely new privacy-safe message-ID header generation algorithm for
Thunderbird.
</li>
<li>
Implementing a JavaScript HTTP proxy (see the <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6958">ticket</a>)
</li>
<li>
Auditing TorBirdy for leaks and for use with other add-ons (as an
example see its <a
href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6319">ticket</a>)
</li>
</ul>
<p>
A student undertaking this project should have some C++ and JavaScript
development experience. Previous experience with Firefox/Thunderbird
extension development is a plus, but not required.
