I think that's fine. I was just highlighting the missing word "one". > I meant that someone can > be a primary mentor for one project, but they can also co-mentor or > backup mentor another project. Or someone can backup mentor two > projects and not be a primary mentor on any project. The wording used does not quite imply this but it's fine. The difference is that the wording allows someone to be a primary mentor for one project and backup mentor for two others at the same time. > > If the deadline is Friday then it's too late for last minute changes > > to the ideas page (although it should still be updated for next year). > > The ideas page isn't submitted in the Google site.

I agree but any student intending to submit by Friday should already have a clear idea what they are planning to submit so it's too late to make significant changes or suggest new ideas.
