+1 What I like about our current approach is that it filters out those who are not willing to work with an issue tracker which is a fairly common thing to do as an open source developer. Concensus at the summit seemed to be that it's a good idea to filter out those very early that are not willing to put in some effort. We can ask our projects to give some more information about their ideas and have them provide that information as labels in jira. Students can then filter for those labels.
