One note on that: it seems that this year a much smaller number of GNU (sub)projects are going to take part. Compare to . (Of course, not everything may be in place yet -- like to Hurd's tasks are still missing...) So it might be that the participating GNU (sub)projects might get more students to work on tasks like they got last year. Or it may not. > > If we=20 > > are unlucky, we can get zero.

It may be hard for students (also for capable ones) to come up with suitable tasks, if they don't have any guide lines. So, I think it's helpful to publish quite a number of ideas. _Then_, the students can still modify them as it suits them. > Last year it looked like the number of projects assigned and the number of > mentors a project had, had a certain relation.

I can't really support that statement, but then, I only know the number of the GNU project.
