Hi all,

I would also like to mentor in this year's edition of GSoC. I've got a
few ideas that I'll put on KDE Wiki in a few days. Is it possible for
two mentors to mentor single student in GSoC?

Akarsh: as we'll probably have at most 2 slots, would you like to
co-mentor a student with me?

Cheers,
Rafal
