Cool. Now I need mentors to step up, or suggestions for whom to ask. If you
are interested and are all signed up as a mentor, you know what to do.

If not, write to KDE-Soc-Management at kde.org and tell us your
google-connected email address so you can be invited to the GSoC webapp,
and subscribe to the KDE-Soc-Management ML:
