We have been accepted as a mentoring org for Google Summer of Code!

They haven't decided how many students we get yet, but we may need extra mentors. Would anyone else be interested? It'd be a time commitment, but we'd get minions students out of it :)

I think you should link to what a mentor is and what they do!

Depending on how work is going by that stage, I'd be interested in the community side of welcoming and mentoring people. Though I'm not a senior enough coder to help much on that side, I can probably still point them at the people who do know things.

I'm willing, for a student not likely to be overwhelmed or exasperated by thoroughness in reviewing. (Which may be a serious problem, so I'll understand if that makes you think twice.)

Well, I went and looked over the projects. I don't know if I'd be able to mentor all of them, but if a mentor is needed and I have the appropriate skillset for the project involved, I am willing to do so.

I really really want to apply as a student (since summer is the time when I spend half my time sitting at a computer at odd hours when most people are not awake, so unlike the rest of the entire year I'd actually have time to learn something!), but I don't have a clue what I would actually want to work on. Siteschemes are the only things that don't confuse me!
