In addition to Nir, if you receive this mail in CC and you are not going 
to become mentor this year, can you please update the wiki shortly? 
Thank you 🙂



Nir, would you like to lead the GSoC application this year again?  And 
good catch, I went ahead with a big brush and removed many spider webs 
from the wiki [1].

Some projects which seemed to me too complex for the shortened GSoC time 
or outdated got brushed out, too.  If I was too harsh, please add, 
update, and extend them again.

The biggest change is that I deprecated those "wiki student application 
templates".  The GSoC registration has changed since those days when the 
template was useful.

Last year I felt that I had to study too many locations about a 
candidate (GSoC website, GSoC proposal PDF, wiki user page with 
template, mailing-list communication, bug and patch tracker, ...) 
whereas the wiki user page proved as least updated/informative compared 
to the GSoC proposal PDF.
