I can understand this but with creating broken stuff is more because of crappy tutoring and broken stuff should never be imported. Don't we have any developers that are student that can use SoC to get funding to hack over the summer? Of course they should hack for the love of it but people can't eat love. If this means a dedicated user can be able to hack and improve OpenBSD code for free a whole summer I think it should be consider. In the end, OpenBSD does not lose a thing to sign up as a mentor organization because in the end OpenBSD still have to approve the student and if you feel that the people submiting proposals arn't good enough just reject the proposal. I can understand that developers don't have time to tutor a person. Well it was just a suggestion so if any of the developers feel that this is a nice thing they should submit OpenBSD as a mentor organization. Thanks. // Dunceor
