So Zac's the only one willing/able to mentor? If so I don't think it's going to be worth our time to apply. If you guys are committed to the idea of doing it, maybe you could get together with the Pidgin guys and offer to help with libpurple? I'd love to see us get back to participating in GSoC again, but it's hard to justify if we only have one available mentor. -Eric
