From all of your inputs I was able to come to the following allocation of mentor / co-mentor. -- 8< -- Consolidate ref-related functionality into git-refs - Mentor: Patrick - Co-mentor: Jialuo / Christian Refactoring in order to reduce Git’s global state - Mentor: Christian - Co-mentor: Karthik / Jialuo Machine-Readable Repository Information Query Tool - Mentor: Karthik - Co-mentor: Patrick Implement support for reftables in “dumb” HTTP transport - Mentor: Patrick - Co-mentor: Karthik -- >8 -- Let me know if this sounds fine to all of you. So, I suppose we could pick a maximum of 3 projects but we cannot pick both "Consolidate ref-related functionality into git-refs" and "Implement support for reftables in “dumb” HTTP transport" at the same time as Patrick only prefers to be mentor in one project. Based on this, I'll tweak the ideas page to mention that we could pick a max of 3 candidates. BTW, I've just submitted Git's application for GSoC. We should know by February 26 about the selection result. -- Sivaraam
