And now for something completely meta

[Valorie Zimmerman]

I think my ask wasn't very precise. The information I've found so far is here:

https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/22399672/KDE%20mentoring

What I would like for each student eventually is contact information,
years contributing to KDE, and perhaps some of their roles in KDE.

For some students, I don't even have a name, just a nick as listed in
Melange. Some mentors will have kept in touch with former students I
hope, and many former students are now mentors. Tonight I've been
trying to add a tag to each entry, and regularize each entry to
YearContest,studentname,Project,mentor. I've not finished that work,
or started digging up names and projects for SoK, much less GCi.

However, when all that is done, I think this could be useful.
