[Web-SIG] [Fwd: Summer of Code preparation]

[Ian Bicking]

Hi guys... looks like Google SoC is back on again.  I'm hoping we get 
some good web stuff going on, so people should start thinking.  Also 
there's two wiki pages where you can add project ideas: 
http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode and the somewhat out-of-date 
(and needs cleaning) page from last year: 
http://wiki.python.org/moin/CodingProjectIdeas

We've only got a short time to get setup for Google's Summer of Code.
We need to start identifying mentors and collecting ideas for students
to implement.  We have the SimpleTodo list
(http://wiki.python.org/moin/SimpleTodo), but nothing on the SoC page
yet (http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode).

I can help manage the process from inside Google, but I need help
gathering mentors and ideas.  I'm not certain of the process, but if
you are interested in being a mentor, send me an email.  I will try to
find all the necessary info and post here again tomorrow.  Pass the
word!  I hope all mentors from last year will return again this year.

Can someone take ownership of drumming up mentors and ideas?  We also
need to spread the word to c.l.p and beyond.

Thanks,
n
