As Harald wrote in a different post, as long as we state the tasks clearly, concentrate on computer science, software engineering tasks, and define clear milestones that any computer science student can start working on, then we will have a competitive application. I think you should still do the application, since you're officially the BDFL of the Sage project, and you already have lots of experience with the process. I can help with the paperwork, as many others on this list would also do. > I'm definitely +1 on somebody (not me) applying Sage as an > organization. I can do some work on this, but I don't think I can handle the task all by myself. But then, if people are not volunteering to work as mentors, suggest tasks, or help with the application, we shouldn't apply at all. So please, everyone, suggest project ideas with well defined goals achievable with less than 3 months of work by computer science majors. It would be great if people familiar with the notebook volunteered to be mentors, and extended the items already on the wiki page. > > The applications for mentoring organizations open tomorrow (March > > 9), and end on Friday (March 13).

Does anybody have more information on this? We should still prepare the application ASAP, of course. :) Please submit ideas to the wiki page: http://wiki.sagemath.org/gsoc09 I'll also start a wiki page for the questions we need to address as a part of the applications.
