I think we can split the duties a bit, too. Simon, can you share your
experience since you did a GSOC for Lucene a few years back? I seem
to recall there being a couple of Lucene mentors.

Sounds like doing it part time after work is going to be a bit tough
- but
five hours per student per week in summer should be doable, at least
for me.
As these are summer projects and certainly some of us are going to
be on
vacation during that time we should plan for having one backup for
each
mentor that goes on vacation at a different time.
