Dear list, We have 75 people subscribed to the gsoc list so far; thanks to all those who have introduced themselves. Don't be shy about using this list for anything related to gsoc, including asking questions that you are sure are answered /somewhere/ but that you couldn't find. [I've had troule finding things on the main gsoc site today myself.]
We have eight confirmed mentors and a similar number pending confirmation. Scorche and others recommend having more than 1 mentor available per student; we could still use another dozen or so mentors. And 60% of our mentors are currently from the US; we could use more Spanish speakers. It is ok to offer to mentor students only within a specific interest; please mention this on http://wiki.laptop.org/go/Summer_of_Code when you apply to mentor. We could use more mentors specifically for projects integrating with sugar, networking and other core services -- many students have been applying to create their own standalone code or activities from scratch, but that does not give them much of a chance to learn about collaborating on a larger project.
