[tor-relays] Tor Weather has been discontinued

[Jannis Wiese]

I don’t think Weather will be better anytime soon, as it’s been discontinued. [0] If that’s already a reason for you to stop contributing to Tor…

Although Jacob is not a part of the Tor Project any more ([1][2]), in his time as a (very visible) digital advocate, it obviously was in the interest of the Tor Project to see him in a Tor T-shirt most of the time.

And finally, your T-Shirt “calculation” is a bit off: [3]
> We want to make sure our shirts help outreach happen all around the world, so please understand if we can't send you 5 shirts for your 5 excellent relays.

As Moritz already said, the shirt is a way for the community to show appreciation to individuals and not a way to fill your wardrobe.

Also, maybe there’s a way for some people here to increase the number of volunteers handling the T-shirt requests? :-)
