Indeed. The Wikimania Scholarships application would likely serve as a starting
point that could be repurposed. However, the description I linked to includes a
research phase where the student would search to see if there are any free and
open source alternatives available so that we don't reinvent the wheel.

Again, indeed! If we get a bite from one of the mentorship programmes, this
would likely be best served as a joint exercise with me and the student, for
the student's training.
