I was a bit busy with other stuff last week, but better late than never:
David is right: I'll still be a student this summer, and I really like
the idea of spending more time on some fun GNUstep/Étoilé project then,
so GSoC would be a perfect excuse for doing exactly that. If lack of
mentor-manpower really is an issue, I'd also promise to be a
(relatively) low maintenance student ;-)
Anyways, not entering just because of bad experiences in the past might
perhaps be jumping to conclusions.

Cheers,
