Re: Google Summer of Code: Mentors Needed. Deadline is tomorrow.
[In reply to]

Just a quick follow-up to note that we currently have the following
mentors that I'll be submitting with our GSOC application this week:
Greg Heo - SOAP or AJAX/Prototype/Scriptaculous projects
Matt Rolf - General support
Alex Krohn - General support
Darren Duncan - port Bricolage to run over the Muldis Rosetta ORDBMS
framework
David Wheeler will be our backup project administrator and general
whip-cracker.
I'm aiming to send out a draft projects list this afternoon (fingers
crossed). If anyone else is interested in mentoring, please do let me
know.
Phillip.
