Hi forks, Receiving a bunch of emails recently about GSOC, I really want to join but it seems like I'm not eligible to do even though I used to be a PhD student, and currently on leave (I will be probably back soon). I really want to contribute to lucene to implement some of my ideas. Can I have a lucene "mentor" like those mentor experts who are excited to GSOC ?
