 Replying to [ticket:10013 cypherpunks]:
 > 2) By listing what might otherwise look like end dates on the 'Sponsors'
 page above, users who don't notice that the information is only current as
 of 2012 might think that all of Tor's sponsors have left it. Making the
 "current as of" date more visible on the page and listing something like
 "2006 - present" instead of "2006 - 2012" might be less confusing. For
 sponsors offering grants, it seems easiest to just list the expected
 duration of current grants, where applicable.

 I agree that this would be really useful. It looks like #9614 is where we
 changed it from mentioning some 2013 funding to pretending like 2012 was
 the end of time.

 Andrew, do we as a non-profit have any legal responsibility to disclose
 only audited things on a webpage like this (ugh), or can we just be (best-
 effort) accurate?

 I think we should simply not list an end date when we aren't sure when the
 support will end. And then hopefully every so often we'll put end dates on
 the ones that did end the previous year.

 I also like the idea of putting dates into the future when we know them,
 e.g. the NSF grant with GATech and Princeton should be written as
 2012-2016.
