Hi there, Google has this wonderful program called Summer of Code, in which open source projects like ours, suggest possible projects and provide mentors to help selected students to do them.
It's a great opportunity for students to get in touch with open source development, also good for us to get some projects done and more people involved (students are paid too, btw). The dead-line is a bit short: next friday (March, 12), more information in the program's page: http://socghop.appspot.com/ I didn't read it fully yet, but I _guess_ the most important is to come up with project ideas and mentors. Everything should be in a wiki. PS: I have participated as a student some years ago, didn't produce anything useful, but was a great experience.
