Indeed! I'm really excited about our students and the projects they're going to be working on. I think we'll make some really excellent progress toward our 11.11.11 release date: http://www.wefearchange.org/2011/04/release-that-rewrite-on-111111.html My *huge* thanks also go to Terri, Florian, and Anna for their mentorship this year and all the great work they did on our GSoC applications. >While the students do have a set of official mentors (Barry, Florian, Anna >and me), you're all encouraged to help out throughout the summer.

Yes! I am planning a 3.0.0a7 release this week, and as always am available to answer questions during US/Eastern (UTC-4) working hours on #mailman on freenode. I encourage you to come hang out there, and also ask questions on this mailing list. Cheers, -Barry
