So I have one excellent student that wants to work on Tahrir this Summer,
ideally as part of GSoC, I've already started to get him up to speed on the
codebase and his progress is impressive.

Here is the trickier part: I have another student that has been working on
another open source project of mine called LastCalc, that is unrelated to
Freenet.  He has asked me whether he can work on it this summer as part of
GsoC.

I assumed that doing the LastCalc project with Freenet as a mentoring org
would be a non-starter since they aren't related (except through me),
however I consulted the GSoC mailing list about it they said that it is ok
provided that Freenet is ok with it.

So, does anyone have a strong objection to this?  I can't think of any
reason why anyone would given that I'm willing to mentor both projects.

Matthew, I know that you thought mentoring two projects would be too much
work, however I already have three students that I work with, two on
Tahrir, one on LastCalc.  I spend several hours a week with each of them,
so actually no less work than would be required of me as a GSoC mentor, and
it works well.

Thoughts?

Ian.
