Given the nr of projects that Google will actually accept, I think that in principle it will be possible to have two (or maybe three) mentors for the same project. Plus lyx-devel. And we always have Scott and Cyrille to back up in case of unexpected commitments. I don't know how it will pan out, but I think it should be doable even considering vacations. Maybe Cyrille can add more on this. Liviu
