Mentor: me (as project manager and mentor of record; Platonides will consult with technical experts) Congratulations. You are the most promising students among the 63 who applied, so we chose you to participate in our Google Summer of Code program. Please consult your mentor to discuss what you ought to do during the community bonding period (now till May 21). Students whom we did not accept: please don't despair. As you can see, you had a lot of very strong competition, and we only had nine slots. We encourage you to keep learning about open source, use our IRC channels and mailing lists, and even work on your projects as volunteers! Most of us got into this hobby without GSoC, and you can too. :-) -- Sumana Harihareswara Volunteer Development Coordinator Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list wikitec...@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l -- Regards Srikanth.L
