I'm still holding off on the bulk of the rename until our next release (no
reason to confuse its existing users with its name change), but contributors
can handle it. Link was broken - thanks to unixninja92 for pointing it out...

Revising the links as per phw's request. First turned out to just be a copy of
its readme, and second should point to the PETS paper rather than the tech
report.
By contrast with ExitMap I'm a tad less sold on Chutney, but we'll see where it
goes. Nick put quite a bit of work into it in 2014, but not much since then. As
I understand it Chutney is due for an overhaul to move from 'tool for Nick' to
a more generally useful component.
Maybe I'm wrong.
If it gets more development attention then great, but if not I might drop it
back off the page later.
Dropping Nick, Aaron, Mike, Nicolas, Steven, George, and Isis as prospective
mentors and in a couple cases where they were the only people dropping their
projects. We can add them back if they voice an interest in mentoring.
The downloads are horribly outdated, the docs are confusing and long.
Without a proper Vidalia maintainer and someone making packages, this
has no future.
There's a few projects like 'tor daemon optimization' which I'm unsure if it
maps to something on this page. Just dropping the entries clearly the focus of
students we passed last year.
Besides updating the activity levels we list this includes the following
changes...
* Combining Torbutton and TorLauncher into TorBrowser. TorButton no longer
exists on its own, and our link to TorLauncher no longer worked. Pointing to
TorButton's codebase since that's getting most activity, and the TorBrowser
repo says it's for "old, pre 3.x".
* Dropping Orchid again. It hasn't received any commits since November 2013
(a full year) - if the project indeed is still active somewhere then we
need an updated link.
* Dropped chiiph from Vidalia. He's been gone for a long time now, and we
should be upfront that we don't have a maintainer. Adjusted maintainers
elsewhere where appropriate to match who's actually working on things.
* Dropping Torouter as it's been inactive since 2011 and isn't used in
practice. There's lots of neat directions this space can go, but presently
this codebase isn't it.
* Listing the new maintainer of torsocks.
Uploaded this presentation to youtube for a couple reasons...
1. Good publicity. It's a damn popular site, so we should post things like
this to attract volunteers.
2. Streaming. Linking to an mp4 is all well and good, but this sucker's 50
MB. Most casual visitors will leave before even letting it start.
