Still, I think that's good enough to expose at least drafts of the projects, allowing potential candidates to get in touch with projects that they might be interested in. > I therefore propose that we ask projects to record tasks in their issue > tracker with a label of "Mentored".

I think it's important to have a single-page list of ASF projects, but if we can build that automatically from JIRA data that would be fine. So no objections here, but a central list of ASF projects (GSoC or not) is good to have, IMO. -Bertrand
