Disadvantages: There's the work of submitting the actual application, which one shouldn't take on unless we know we want to participate. The number of possible mentors play a strong role here. Myself I was hoping to wait a month and see before I decide on whether I want to mentor. I hope (though nothing is decided!) to be able to mentor a student for a year-long university project on Cython here in Oslo, and mentoring for a full year of work will definitely have higher priority for me than two months (as the investment overhead in getting somebody to know coding in Cython is likely comparable in the two cases). That taken in consideration I now have second thoughts on mentoring in GSoC; the same amount of mentorship in autumn can potentially pay off more in amount of code written. So to get things declared, I'm unfortunately only a "maybe" on the mentorship side, at least right now.
