We have 2 proposals for "convert scripts to builtins", and 4 for "unify git branch, git tag and git for-each-ref" (plus some out-of-scope proposals). See http://git.github.io/SoC-2015-Ideas.html for more details about the projects. We have to request slots before April 13th. My guess is that we'll request 2 slots, and from previous discussions I don't think we will have difficulties to find enough co-mentors. Still, if you're interested in mentoring a project, now would be a good time to say so. Without committing to mentor a student, you can also join the Git organisation on https://www.google-melange.com/ if you want to see/review/rate/discuss students proposals. Stefan: you said you were interested in mentoring. If it's still the case, then please create an account on melange and request the "mentor" role for Git.

If it's still the case, then please create an account on melange and request the "mentor" role for Git. I did say that though I'd guess a Co-mentor role would fit me better. I've seen Jeff wants to mentor the "Unifying git branch -l, git tag -l, and git for-each-ref" where there are 4 applicants for this topic. Though I guess we'd only accept one applicant here as the topic is quite the same all of them proposed. There are 2 proposals to rewrite shell scripts to builtins, which Dscho is interested in mentoring one of them, which I'd like to co-mentor then. The other proposals do not look as convincing to me as I'd step up as a main mentor.

And thank you to all of the folks who have been helping review microprojects and proposals. If there are any other long-time community members who want to read and comment on the proposals, you can sign up through https://www.google-melange.com and request to be a mentor for git (you do not have to mentor, but that is the access level where you get to see the proposals). -Peff ```
