We still need a page on the wiki or the web site, clearly stating that you don't need to be a mathematician to contribute, with links to the notebook, some documentation on the build system etc, and the projects on trac. The discussions related to Google Summer of Code organization in the archive of this list might be relevant here: http://groups.google.com/group/sage-devel/t/39e427b24ca7a39e/ We never got around to setting up such a wiki page, or a mentoring process after last year. Perhaps we should do that now, instead of making a gsoc11 page on the wiki. BTW, are we applying for the GSoC yet again this year? http://www.google-melange.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2011/timeline We could start early and ask other free mathematics software projects if they have projects they want to submit under the Sage sponsoring organization.
