Hi Manuel, Sure and thanks for the info - I know that students have to submit proposals, but maybe I misunderstood the concept:
I have been talking to a few mentors and students (not GCC related) who got their proposals accepted in the last year's Google Summer of Code and they basically told me that the mentors listed many different proposals so that students could have a choice and then they submitted proposals together. But maybe it was the wrong way to do :( ... So, my idea was to sync on the potential proposals with GCC community so that students could have a choice. So, I converted the table to the bullet list format ...
