I think it would be great to participate this year, provided that we can come up with some interesting projects and mentors to help out.

I'm available and interested in mentoring. I don't think I found many interested folks via Outreachy who wanted to work on bitmaps, but I think it's worth trying again via GSoC. I can rejigger the proposed projects there a bit, too.

(I figured that it would be fun to have an intern with fairly wide discretion over what they could work on, but it might be better for some folks to have a clearer idea ahead of time.)
