Remove start_date from team member file instructions and 3 files
Why is this change being made?
Starting around 2021-06, we stopped treating "start date" as public information. As a result, the start_date
line was removed from all team member data files. However, we forgot to remove it from the instructions, where it was still listed as a required line. Some recently-created files included this line.
This removes the start_date
line from all files that have it (3) and removes the start_date
line from the instructions.
Note: This should solve the problem, but if we continue to see start_date
appear in these files for some reason we could add a validation check. See Commit 74f838b8 for inspiration.
