Apparently Google stopped accepting applications from mentoring projects around the time Nicolas sent this email last night. I simply didn't recognize that they were running this operation like a radio station giving away concert tickets (free to the first 80 emails!). I'm mad at myself for not just sending in an email immediately, but I'm madder at Google for running this is such an amateurish way. I already submitted a story to Slashdot about it ;-) --Tom _______________________________________________ Schooltool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.schooltool.org/mailman/listinfo/schooltool
