Our problem at this point is to recruit mentors. Whoever submits the project proposal on the Outreachy website[1] applies to become a mentor. This is then either approved or declined by Ludovic or myself. The project idea sounds good, but we really need a mentor who feels responsible for this project and who will be able to guide an intern throughout the application phase and the three-month internship between from May to August. I would be very happy if someone who is willing to oversee this project would write a draft and submit it on the Outreachy website[1]. I volunteer to be a co-mentor for when the main mentor needs a free weekend or something like that, but I can only assist, not lead the project.
