ok so our page now contains 4 project ideas and 3 mentors big thanks to the people volunteering and adding them Can we get a few more ? Ideal would be numbers similar to previous years We wont have a student for each idea we list most likely. If we list just 4 we might have just 1 or 2 students, having a wider range of ideas to select from would increase the number of contributions and number of potential new developers joining.

If everything ms did were stupid they would be bankrupt already.
