To complement the both of you, how about proposing projects to 2
students at the same time and have them work as a team?

Pros :
 - mutual motivation
 - faster progress (if one finds documentation/bugs/whatever, the other
can know about it faster)
 - continuous progress (if one "slacks off", the project can still go on)

Cons :
 - risk of having one student slack off completely
 - mentors have to manage 2 students (I don't see it much as a hindrance
but for the sake of completeness, I'll add it anyway)

Anyway for some projects it might be nice. For example in the ffmpeg SoC
project, one student could be a die hard coder, the other one more of a
QA guy trying to find problems with the first one's code. (and maybe
switch roles whenever they feel like it)

Just a thought :)
