Not sure about the current 'students'. I need to take a look and see
what kind of somewhat easy stuff is on the TODO (I haven't seen it in
awhile).
I like your suggestion for the mailing list.

One concern that was raised off of this list was the steep learning
curve to start with, to get to the point of beign able to do anything ...
Do we have any 'students' that are already up to speed, enough so that
they'd be able to accomplish something significant over a 2-3 month
period?

Are there any restrictions on 'mentor groups'? For instance, could
we create a 'mentors' mailing list, closed subscriptions, that
contained those willing to actively mentor, so that those being
mentor'd have multiple ppl's knowledge's to feed upon?

My participation would be limited to the actual number of
newcomers. I feel comfortable helping 2 or 3 people; any more than
that would impact my clients and consulting time. Although, it
would never hurt to have additional mentors :).

We have a whole TODO list of potential items for people to work on,
and we have several member of this list that work for universities
in some capacity, so istm we ought to give it a shot. I would
think this is something that the foundation would be good to be
involved in as well, as it would certainly help it all appear
official. We just need to tie up the loose ends on who would be
available to do the mentoring, which might need to be different
people depending on the work involved, unless you think you could
handle all comers Jonah? Robert Treat

Marc,
If you wanted to submit PostgreSQL to Google for this, I'd be
willing to
work with any potentials. Should someone choose to work on
PostgreSQL
projects, the money can go to the group.
If anyone sees a problem with submitting under the PostgreSQL Global
Development Group, I can do it under my company.
Thoughts?

In case nobody has seen this:

Might be something to help fun, say, the GiST stuff? Just need to
find a student that could be mentor'd/directed/brought up to speed?
