Hi Aaron, I just did a simple change:
https://github.com/sympy/sympy/wiki/GSoC-2015-Organization-Application/_compare/ee5734af544bd5238d8b26115dcb72ec8973bac9...f56a9a79f9289b0ab41c60b054e31f5c916f0c98 otherwise it looks good. As you said, let's mainly concentrate on the ideas page, that is crucial. As to reviewing pull requests, I also made my students do it last year. We should continue with this policy.
