Hi,
after wandering through the archive of those lists, it seems that nobody has yet mentioned that Wikimedia was accepted as a mentoring organisation for the Google Summer of Code 2006.
http://code.google.com/soc/wikim/about.html
Students may apply for this in the first 8 days of May.
Please have a look at http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2006 for suggestions regarding possible projects.
It would be a great opportunity for us, yadda yadda etc. please apply.
Mathias
