First off, I saw you talked to Terri on IRC.  Much as I hate to burden
Terri, that is the right thing to do if you're not getting attention
to your proposal, especially from persons who proposed or volunteered
to mentor it.  If at all possible, try to grab GSoC people on IRC (or
by email) in the following order:

It is always ok to contact me! Anyone, anytime! The only thing I ask is that if I tell you to contact someone else, you actually do that and have at least one meaningful conversation with them before coming back to me. As Stephen says, I can be pretty swamped, so when I redirect students to someone else, usually it's because I think they will be more helpful than I can be at that time. I don't want to be a bottleneck for a student or mentor who's stuck on a problem and waiting for me, so I do my best to refer you to the best person I can!

Just a quick correction on the list of people that Stephen posted:

The PSF GSoC Org admins are me, Florian and Meflin.

- I'm the one who makes final decisions about sub-orgs, slots, etc. and oversees everything. - Florian, on top of helping me as org admin (particularly with the blogs), is the person in charge of Mailman's GSoC team. - Meflin is running our IRC channel (#python-gsoc on freenode). If you have a question about GSoC or melange he's often the one to ask, and he tries to be available on IRC as much as possible for quick questions. While he's new to our team this year, he's a very experienced GSoC org admin who I asked to join us this year to take some of the load off me and Florian.

* Jessica is *not* a PSF org admin this year, but she *is* on the PSF board. If this were structured like a company, she'd be my boss.

That said, she is even more swamped than I am with Core Python (I think she's running OPW in parallel with GSoC right now), so there is basically no time mailman students should be talking to her.

If for any reason I am not responding as an org admin, you should talk to Meflin, who as the person in the closest time zone and same country, it's much easier for him to reach me out of band.
