Student proposals will start coming in on March 22. In the meantime students will be reading our Ideas page[1] and enquiring about the program on the mailing list and on irc. There are many ways that existing git developers can help: - continue to add to and polish the Ideas page - interact with prospective students; besides responding to questions on the list, hanging around on #git and #git-devel on freenode is helpful - volunteer to mentor and/or rank student proposals. You can sign up at http://google-melange.com, and request to be added as a mentor for the git project. We didn't discuss earlier whether we would have any specific requirements for students during the proposal period (e.g., having a patch accepted). It would be good to put together rules (or barring any specific requirements, guidelines to help students put together a good proposal) as soon as possible. Suggestions are welcome. -Peff [1] http://git.github.io/SoC-2014-Ideas.html
