of whom will be working on Developer Documentation along with Tiffany. Another big help from participants from previous rounds was a cartoon that better explained the Outreach Program for Women application process, created by Liansu Yu, Christy Eller, Meg Ford, and Tamara Atanasoska. It was featured on the program's page and we hope helped make the application process more approachable and easier to understand.

The students will work on a wide range of projects including improving aspects of of the GNOME shell, develop new GNOME applications, update existing GNOME applications with new features and improve underlying GNOME technology. We should definitely mention the changes we made in GSoC in a story like that. I.e. what I have in the third paragraph above. We shouldn't mention develop new GNOME applications. We encouraged people to propose agreed-upon, manageable projects. We generally consider developing new applications to not be manageable by a student, unless the student is a very established contributor. I think the only proposal we accepted that could be seen as for the new application is the one for the Lockdown Editor, but it is more of a utility tool than a user facing application. I'd be great to highlight some of the applications or technologies that the students will work on. https://mail.gnome.org/archives/desktop-devel-list/2012-April/msg00176.html has an easily readable list. The students work will result in a better GNOME for all users. The GNOME foundation wish all the students good luck with their respective project and want to give a special thanks to the mentors that help guide the students.
