At the moment I am supervising two students, one is working on remote services and the other one on the ConfigurationAdmin. So I don't think we need a gsoc project for those subjects. I am now realizing that it a good idea to keep this mailing list up to date with the development the students work. I will ask the students to introduce them self to this mailing list and once in a while post an update of their progress. > > But I am open for any other suggestion! > > > > If we go ahead with this we should also provide a mentor.
