Dear all, As I was pointed out off-list, I got confused and the urgency is quite a bit less. Monday March 18 is when the application window *opens*. The deadline for submission is March 29. [1] [1] http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2013/help_page?ModPagespeed=noscript#2._What_is_the_program_timeline
With that in mind, I propose that we re-evaluate the mentorships for the 7 ideas that we had last time: http://wiki.lyx.org/Devel/SummerOfCode2011Ideas plus the Project: Horizontal scrollbar for tables and math ( NULL ) If others have different development ideas in mind, please share them here. Sorry for the confusion.
