FYI, the Elixir folks have set up a wiki page for back-up mentors:

  The following members of the Elixir community
  are willing and able to help with mentoring:

I've registered the #osm-gsoc channel and will lurk (and react ;)) on
new students. Either by helping them directly or forwarding them to the
respective mentor. I'll also try to monitor #osm better than I do now.

Might I ask all mentors that have added a project idea to send me a
short private mail with their email address they want to use for GSoC.
For student mails and for registering to the Google project site (we
have to invite you with your email address). Thanks.

Thanks,
Peda

We're getting quite a few prospective developers turning up in the #osm IRC
channel enquiring, and I'm afraid none of us really know what to say to them
apart from "um, try some mapping so that you understand OSM".

Would it be possible for some of the admins, and some of the mentors,  to

a) monitor #osm for prospective GSoCcers
b) create a nice "here's how to get started" page for the absolute newbie
developer
c) create and staff a new #osm-gsoc channel
d) or something?

Especially true of mentors - if you put a project on the wiki page because
you think it should be done, you need to follow through with a commitment to
helping it get done. ;)

Thanks!

cheers
Richard
