Below is an updated GSoC immediate deadlines (from [1]) March 17th - Students start engaging with project to discuss applications March 24th - students are able to submit applications to the GSoC webapp. March 31st - Deadline for student applications
This means we should try and have projects proposed by March 17th. It would be great if people could review their ideas at [2] and add further comments/description as necessary. Then I'll handle moving them to the proper location at GSoC place. As for mentors, If everybody is willing to be a mentor, good, otherwise I could probably help on that area, and maybe ask for others to help on areas of the code that I didn't work before. Thoughts ?
