Good afternoon Wikimedians,
The deadline for application from Open Source Projects to Google Summer of Code 2010 is looming (in about 48 hours), and I'm coordinating the formal Wikimedia Foundation entry. There has already been some excellent discussion on http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2010 but *we definitely need more mentors*.
I've asked volunteer Rob Lanphier ([[user:RobLa]], IRC: robla) to help me wrangle the conversation over the next 36 hours or so on *#wikimedia-tech* to flush out folks who were thinking about mentoring as well as additional project ideas...starting immediately. Friday we'll finalize the application and submit.

I'm interested in mentoring a front-end/user experience project. My experience with proposals from GSOC for this area leads me to qualify that with: if the proposal is something that is conceivably desirable for the Wikimedia Foundation to eventually deploy to some or all of it's sites.
