That's a very good question -- we have a few associated projects
(at least guitone, mtteam, perhaps botan/ajisai if we are serious
about switching to SSL) that might have good sized projects for SoC,
and could benefit from the help.

The only issue, though, is that we need to know that if we _do_ accept
students for these projects, that we can take good care of them --
i.e., mentors available and able to provide guidance, some sort of
plan for what to do if the original mentor gets eaten by a grue, etc.
Monotone itself has a big and strong enough community that we can do
this; I'm not as sure about associated projects?
