OK. It's essentially too late to change this for this year, but next time we should discuss earlier about how we want to organize this git.git/libgit2 thing. For example, I think it would make little sense to have a git.git microproject and then apply for a libgit2 project since we have very different ways of interacting. And honnestly, right now the application is really git.git-centric so I don't think it attracts students towards libgit2. So, if you want to attract more students, we should work on that. I tried to clarify the situation with libgit2: https://github.com/git/git.github.io/commit/94d1747eb9621b3bc892be2f232= 338b7933ac271 Please say if you're happy/unhappy with what I wrote. PRs are still welcome after the deadline. > I'll ask around to make sure people would be able to be mentors, but = I > think that we would still like to put forward a few projects (I can > send a PR with the projects that we would still like to see to the 20= 16 > page). We don't have this everywhere, but having a "potential mentors" field for projects also helps (students, and us, at least to make sure we do have mentors).
