 The student.

 We (as a mentoring organization) will suggest some project ideas and
assign mentors. On a following phase, students will go through the
projects and submit the actual project application.

 Now, we need:

 1. More mentors. Mentoring is quite important, who wishes to be one has
    to have the time for it

 2. Organization Administrator. The person who will do the administrative
    stuff. I could do this role, but then I won't mentor

 3. Project ideas and wiki info
