Do you guys think this is a good opportunity to attract new contirbutors? With effort to align with OS 2.0 and 2.5 specs there could be some projects that Shindig community could offer

If you want to participate with your project you NOW need to - understand what it means to be a mentor [1] - propose your project ideas. Just label your issues with gsoc2012 in JIRA and they will show up at [2]. See also [1]. - subscribe to code-awa...@apache.org (restricted to potential mentors, meant to be used as a private list - general discussions on the public d...@community.apache.org list as much as possible please) The ASF will apply as a participating organization with GSoC, your project doesn't need to do that. See [3] for more information. Note that the ASF isn't accepted yet, nevertheless you *really* should start recording your ideas now. Last year we had 38 students completing GSoC successfully, some of which are now active contributors to the projects they worked on. Let's make this a success again this year!
