> Should we apply as mentors? Can any of us commit the time to do the mentoring right?
In the past I have been peripherally involved in a few projects that did GSoC, and what I saw was that, on the projects that Did It Right, the mentors put quite a lot of time and effort in, the students produced reasonable code, and the project got "asked back" next year... On another project, they seemed to view GSoC as a source of cheap labour, the mentoring was very poor, the code produced was little better than useless and they did not get "asked back". If we do it, we need to be in the "Do It Right" camp, so we need to be prepared to put the time and effort in to the mentoring activities. Can we do that? I do not know. -- Ian SELEX Galileo Ltd Registered Office: Sigma House, Christopher Martin Road, Basildon, Essex SS14 3EL A company registered in England & Wales.
