Please note that Google provides a funding to a limited number of projects and the willingness to mentor a project does not mean yet that we will choose your project in particular for the GSoC program. I can still provide you with guidance outside of the GSoC frame and your contributions will still be certainly welcome, but we can decide which projects to choose for GSoC only when we receive all the applications. --=20 Petr "Pasky" Baudis A great many people think they are thinking when they are merely rearranging their prejudices. -- William James
