We do need more than one developer to act as mentor. Here is the list of people I currently do see as possible mentors and why I do see them as mentors: * Dave To take care about someone wanting to work on the formula ai and as our first class c++ expert. * Mordante Many of the possible projects do at least partly go into the area of code where he knows most of. Plus many of the possible projects currently listed on the ideas page (http://www.wesnoth.org/wiki/SummerOfCodeIdeas) do require GUI parts to work, too. So if Mordante wants to tackle a rewrite of large parts of this, he will be our expert there as well as he already is our expert for the terrain engine (cf. editor / scenario editor works). * elias He has written the original version of campgen and as such will know a lot about what is needed to to make such an editor work correctly. The work on a scenario editor might be based upon campgen and as such make his knowledge really helpful. * grzywacz Last year he was participating at GSoC as a student, so he knows at least this side of the medal. Beside this he is our top expert regarding embedded devices support. * boucman As our "patch monkey" he has valuable knowledge in comments and critics for patches of every kind. Beside this he knows many areas of the game due to working on applying patches. * Soliton He does know our mp server setup best. Beside this he already has done a lot of work on the mp server himself, too. So he probably has most knowledge about it and due to being one of our mp-devlopers might provide important help from the perspective of mp-community and what is needed there. * zookeeper or Mythological or Rhuaven As our leading WML expert it would be good to have him in the list when it comes to WML specific problems. That is for work on the scenario editor he probably knows best what should be implemented in it and what is a usable way for things. * YogiHH or cycholka Since they are the two developers who know most about building under Windows, they will probably be really helpful. Either if the student comes from the Windows side, or to help test resulting work to make sure that it does work on Windows and, for the case that it does not, to show them where problems are. Keep in mind that all 'or' are logical or, so it could as well be all of those, any help is appreciated... Who else should I list? Does anyone of those definitely not want to become a mentor for GSoC? Are there other volunteers? I think better to have as many as possible, then not having enough. Beside this I think everyone active in #wesnoth-dev will try to act as some kind of help when the students do need it. It looks like I might become general admin for the Wesnoth project for GSoC if Wesnoth gets accepted (as proposed by Dave in IRC yesterday). But I would like to at least have one backup admin for the case that I am on holidays, end with no time at all for some days (sometimes university wants to eat time...) or for the case that I am simply ill for some days. Yesterday grzywacz posted two links from google regarding GSoC. 1) General FAQ regarding mentoring organisations http://code.google.com/soc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_mentoring_orgs 2) Criteria for being selected http://groups.google.com/group/google-summer-of-code-announce/web/notes-on-organization-selection-criteria That should be all for the moment.
