Ondrej, You say:
"since most of them were empty, and the point is that if the idea (which must be better developed by the student anyway) is good, then we will find a mentor for the student." I don't see how that works. I think we need to have potential mentors listed for each idea so that students know the reality. I personally don't plan on mentoring any projects I don't understand. I don't think it is realistic that we can find mentors for any project that students prefer. We've already seen in the past that mentors are not willing to mentor just anything. I think if projects don't have a potential mentor listed we should remove it from the ideas page for this year. I'd like to do this if there is no objection.
