-TorBirdy is an extension that configures Thunderbird to make connections over
-the Tor anonymity network. TorBirdy has been under development for quite a
-while but there are two known leaks that prevent it from being used by a wider
-audience. As part of this project, you will be working on implementing a HTTP
-proxy.
-    </p>
-
-    <p>
-<b>HTTP Proxy</b> TorBirdy needs a HTTP proxy or a HTTP -> SOCKS5 shim. Please look at
-ticket <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/ticket/6958">#6958</a>
-for more information. Note: this has to be done using JavaScript and without using
-an external proxy.
-    </p>
-
-    <p>
-If time permits and you are awesome enough to finish the above two tasks, you
-will be working on the <a href="https://trac.torproject.org/projects/tor/query?status=!closed&component=TorBirdy">
-remaining TorBirdy tickets</a>.

-Applicants should be familiar with JavaScript (and preferably C++ as well). As
-part of your application for this project, please submit code samples for
-previous JavaScript projects that you have developed, or point us to projects
-you have been involved with (links to a public Git/GitHub repository
-preferred).  Prior extension development is a big plus and will be given
-preference during application ranking.
