Thanks, now it's more clear. Do we already know the total number of OPW slots for ffmpeg? > so its ATM just the qualification tasks for which the number of > applicants is rather large.

OK, I should be able to help another applicant for her qualification task then. But for the internship itself (Dec 2014 to Mar 2015) I'm afraid I will have time to mentor at most 2 students. Of course if someone has free time and is willing to help with the qualification tasks, by all means please go for it. This way we'll make sure every student gets a chance.
