Thank you!

No, not at all.  The organization application period just opened, so
this is the time to fill up the project ideas page.

I have placed a few pointers to resources for mentors on the wiki
<http://dev.clojure.org/display/community/Google+Summer+of+Code+2013#GoogleSummerofCode2013-Mentors>.
Google says that mentoring should take on average about five hours per
week.

In the end, as a mentor, your job is to help guide the student and
review the student's work.  You should not be micromanaging the student
or doing a lot of hand-holding.  This is why it is important to interact
with student applicants before they are selected.  You want to be sure
that the student is sufficiently prepared and self-driven to be able to
complete the project successfully.

I hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Daniel
