XWiki on the Google Summer of Code program

XWiki has made it's way on the Google Summer of Code program (very cool !!!) It's a very cool initiative by Google: Google Summer of Code <http://code.google.com/summerofcode.html>. Thanks to Jeremi who noticed it, we have been very reactive and we managed to get XWiki on the list of mentoring organizations. This has been very positive both because we have had lots of visits on the xwiki.org site to see the page of proposed projects <http://www.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Dev/SummerOfCode>. I've had about 7 students contacting me for projects on this page and some of them seem to know what they are talking about.. The guy proposing the XWiki P2P project for example seems to be quite interesting. We also have a proposal for the WYSIWYG Editor. If some people in the team would like to help mentor some of the students working on a specific project, don't hesitate to volunteer ! Let's hope we will be allowed to have many of these projects accepted. Google has a budget for 200 projects (that's 1M$) and there are 40 organizations right now which means an average of 5 projects, knowing that there are some big organizations in the list. Just Nmap has been notified of 31 proposals sent out for 19 different projects. They stated they can only handle 5 to 7 students.
