Hi,
Thank you both for your answers. It will be our first year doing this, so
we will learn by doing.
As far as I understand, being a mentor requires some time since you need to
follow the students and he will give his mentor frequent updates. So I
totally understand if you wouldn't want to commit for it.
There are several resources to understand what mentoring implies
http://en.flossmanuals.net/GSoCMentoring/what-makes-a-good-mentor/
See also the mentoring section on this same page.
Students are currently contacting us via the IRC channel to understand what
MuseScore is, how the community works, etc...
They also research some of the ideas from the idea list
http://musescore.org/en/developers-handbook/google-summer-code/ideas-2013
Some of them comes with new ideas. One of them with ideas on tab import
(Tuxguitar, GP6), and additions of features for guitarists ;)
Students will start creating formal proposal on April 22nd until May 3rd. I
should get some drafts before. If there are proposals in your area of
expertise, I will come back to you.
We will need to review the proposals and ask for slots to Google. Google
will then decide how many slots are allocated to MuseScore.
