As you may have noticed from a previous email the R Foundation has been accepted as a mentoring organization for the Google Summer of Code 2008, see
http://code.google.com/soc/2008/ for general information and http://www.r-project.org/SoC08/index.html for our ideas page (which is still evolving a little bit). The R Foundation has not acted as a mentoring organization before, so everything is a little bit experimental for us (some R developers have participated before through other organizations). This email is mainly meant to inform you about the fact that we are in and encourage you to pass on the information to talented students who may want to participate (accepted students get a stipend of USD 4500 from Google when they successfully finish the project).
