I've done some more editing of the Idea page: 
(http://nedit.hackvalue.nl/niki/index.php/GSoC2008IdeaPage)

Primarily the following:
   * trying to move details from the main page to the discussion page (to keep 
the main page looking "clean")
   * on the main page, adding an advocate for each project, being the person 
who (afaict) suggested the project (note that the advocate may or may not be 
the same as the mentor

Bert is our only volunteer for mentoring so far--anyone else?  Anyone willing 
to be a back up mentor?

With respect to folding, I suggested one other smaller (I hope) subproject, 
the thought of doing something in the spirit of extreme programming.  The 
thought is maybe to get enough done in a small project (maybe a back end 
means to hide text along with the folding mark gutter and code to handle 
events on it, all "interfaced" to/via nedit macro functions) so that end 
users might enhance that capability without the immediate need for additional 
c programming.

Although we don't have to use code that created by a GSoC project, I think it 
would be a real shame if we didn't.  So, are there any projects listed there 
that someone strongly objects to (i.e., objects enough that they'd object to 
adding the code to the nedit codebase)?

(Aside: If we get one or more GSoC students, we may have to make special 
arrangements for committing their code--afaict, we have to be able to 
identify their code separate from anything anyone else might do with it.  At 
least one project last year had to do something along the lines of writing 
some code (iiuc) to go back and separate out code from their GSoC 
student(s).)
