+<li>Be comfortable working remotely.</li>
+<li>Be comfortable and experienced with interacting with users and other

+comfortable in this environment! We coordinate via IRC, Instant
+Messaging, email, phone and video chats, and bug trackers.</li>
+<li>Academic degrees are great, but not required if you have
+the right experience.</li>
+<li>We only write free and open source software, and we don't
+believe in software patents.</li>

+	you're allowed to show us.</li>
+	<li>Provide a CV explaining your background, experience, skills,

+	references could be employers or coworkers, open source projects,
+	etc.</li>
+	<li>Email the above to jobs@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx, specifying the
+	"Project Coordinator" position.</li>
+</ul>

+About the company:<br>
+ The Tor Project is a US 501(c)(3) non-profit dedicated to research,
+ development, and education about online anonymity and privacy. The Tor
+ network's 3000 volunteer relays carry 14 Gbps for upwards of half a
+ million daily users, including ordinary citizens who want protection
+ from identity theft and prying corporations, corporations who want
+ to look at a competitor's website in private, people around the world
+ whose Internet connections are censored, and even governments and law
+ enforcement. Tor has a staff of 15 paid developers, researchers, and
+ advocates, plus many dozen volunteers who help out on a daily basis. Tor
+ is funded in part by government research and development grants, and
+ in part by individual and corporate donations.
