Quick summary for anyone interested: There's five projects:
* My remote-control API project which has a strong student and two signed-up mentors, me as main mentor. * A QGIS-PySAL (spatial analysis library) integration project which also looks like a good student. I'll co-mentor that but it needs a main mentor to do most of the work with the student. * Two projects that seem to be about improving vector geoprocessing algorithms, which I would have thought were libGEOS's business, but the students don't mention libGEOS which worries me. No mentors signed up. * A project on raster uncertainty visualisation that is working on improving and extending the students' existing plugin. No mentors signed up.
