One new proposal just got submitted:
	https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/dashboard/organization/6564234674569216/proposal/6320691074826240/

and I'm willing to mentor it, as long as the "final" application matches
up with the draft one.  I didn't see anywhere to "star" an application,
why do some have that mark and others do not?

thanks,
