Re: Google Summer of Code 2011

I would suggest that we go directly for the GNU solution. It seems like
Google prefers to have big organisations taking part. Maybe this makes
the management easier for Google, I don't know.

But as you wrote, it is more important whether we have contributors
interested. Last year was a full success as both GSOC student came from
the bigger GNUstep community.

And yes, I would mentor again. It really uses up some time, but I did
learn a lot last year.

the first important date for our project is February 28 19:00 UTC, when
the mentoring organizations can begin submitting applications to Google.
