This is an old revision of the document!

This year, 2008, showed we need at least the following for GSoC:

Let all together define the goals, verify the goals, in a group and revise them where needed
A GSoC list where students can interact with the community as not all projects fit to internals and other existing lists
A mentors list so mentors can exchange information without having to send mails with a longish CC line
Motivate more discussion between the different projects
Maybe it would be a good idea to request students to fill out a questionnaire during the application time like other projects do
Weekly Reports to the GSoC lsit so all know what'S going on

MySQL uses a template ismilar to the one below for the regular developers, might be a good start for us:
