But for > that we need more people willing to mentor ;) If we create a "php-gsoc@" mailinglist where all the students and mentors, and everyone else who wants to follow the student work, and require students to post weekly/by-weekly status updates then there is no need. The community can then help the mentor out and we get more information about the projects. I still don't know what happened to many of the gsoc projects last year, despite my multiple inquires to the mentors of the projects, and haven't heard a beep from most of the students :( Lets keep it in the OSS style. Communicate in the open. -Hannes
