Hi everybody: We currently have 5 project proposals and having 5 proposals doesn't mean that all of them will be found interesting to students. As you can see here: http://techbase.kde.org/Projects/Summer_of_Code/2009/Ideas KDE, for instance, currently has 55 proposals but they will probably end up having realized only a few of them. As a result, it would be great if especially those who have contributed code to Gretl in the past came up with an idea and considered becoming a mentor. It would also be useful if you express intention for being a substitute mentor for one or two of the proposed projects. I hope everybody thinks as I do that this is something useful for Gretl, for the mentor, for the student, for everybody.
