Correct. Last year there were students who submitted perfectly reasonable project ideas to another ASF top-level project and did not even get a single reply - which to me indicates that such a project likely is dead (I just looked, in the case I had in mind the project fortunately is still alive, but I wonder what had happened). While a mentor is required for a GSoC project a good student will not depend on a mentor to be able to work on a project but will join the community and do what is necessary. It probably is more difficult for a student to work without someone guiding him or her, but at least the *source code* is available to work with! > Andreas Kuckartz has proposed MARMOTTA-460, so he > could be a potential mentor if he would be > interested to, for example. Yes, I am potentially interested. My main interest is to find someone who is interested in developing tools which help to experimentally develop the OParl specification (http://oparl.org) [German only, internationalization is on the agenda] and similar vocabularies.
