<div>For when perspective students email us (based on comments from last year):<br> - Instead of responding to GSOC threads on the ML we just forward them to a wiki page with the basic information.<br>
<br> - Any students who want to discuss their proposal before adding to melange can email a tiny mailing list of everyone who's volunteered to be a mentor.. we will place a link to this on our wiki. <br><br> - We ask potential students to showcase their existing open source work (in any project, in any langauge whatever, even just filing in userbase).. if they've done nothing we ignore them.</div>
