Done: http://community.apache.org/gsoc-admin-tasks.html
FYI, we are now at step one. The email to the PMCs should go out as soon as possible. Also, make sure that all our GSoC-related pages are up to date. They are a mess with information spread over several pages and no clean navigation so cleaning them up may be an ideal task for newcomers to learn about our processes and at the same time contribute something extremely useful. Also, we haven't set up a mentor vetting procedure yet. The idea was to have PMCs ACK their potential mentors. We need to write that up. As for temporary accounts for students, infra is against setting up temporary accounts. PMCs should either vote the students in as committers or have them work like any other outside contributors via mailing lists and patches. I agree.
