I can be GSoC administrator again if nobody else wants to do it (and probably Shawn as co-admin again). On my todo list for tonight is actually starting and posting a draft application. I'm perfectly happy if somebody else wants to take over the position. It's mostly boring, and aside from coordinating the proposal ranking process, not even all that much work (the real work is done by the mentors). > I guess we can get by without having fully functional wiki for creati= ng=20 > application (if we decide to apply), but it would need a forum to sen= d=20 > ideas for GSoC projects and some place to publish them.

My plan was to just solicit feedback from the mailing list. Though I think I may throw the work into a repo or even a GitHub wiki to make small edits simpler for people who want to contribute. If last year is any indication, about 3-4 people will come up with comments. So just taking patches or incorporating their suggestions manually would probably be acceptable. > I don't know what are ETA on bringing Git Wiki fully up, but I doubt = it=20 > would be possible at http://git.wiki.kernel.org -- it is more than tw= o=20 > months since the event and wiki is not functional yet.

And you can write in a variety of markup languages, including mediawiki, though whe= n I tried importing the old git wiki many moons ago, I noticed that the formatting of many of the pages was not quite right. -Peff
