Without mentors, there is no GSoC project. * The related entry at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014 doesn't link to any microtask, which is a requirement to be selected. The proposal does mention some bug reports, but, going to the previous point, there is no mentor to evaluate whether those bugfixes are enough proof of the skills and collaboration style of the candidate. In other words, someone needs to step in to mentor this candidate, otherwise he will not make it to GSoC even if his part of the work is excellent. Interested mentors are welcome, including experienced QA contributors with no experience mentoring.
