Hi, I won't be able (due to time constraints) to offer mentoring capacity but I'm willing to give advice on issues that arises from "How SMW works". Those issues should be clearly articulated and added to the [0] issue tracker with a title that identifies them to be related to the "Google Summer of Code 2020".
If people are looking for ideas, I suggest you create a ticket on [0] and collect them in one spot and I'll try to add comments to them after the holidays. I do hope the community is able to find some people willing to mentor and students to participate to extend the reach of the platform because a low bus factor (as of now) for a project like SMW is unhealthy.
