Sorry, I have to correct what I told in my previous posting. In contrary to last year, this year only the organization administrator can assign mentors to students.

Mentors can only express their wish to mentor a student by clicking "I am willing to mentor this proposal" near the bottom of the proposal page. If you click it on the wrong proposal or change your mind, click "I am no longer willing to mentor this proposal" at the same place. You can only decide for yourself whether you like to mentor, you cannot propose another mentor. If you like another person to mentor this student, e-mail to this person and ask him to request mentorship by clicking "I am willing to mentor this proposal". More than one person can request mentorship and the persons who have requested mentorship are listed near the top of the proposal page as "Possible Mentors:". Check whether you are really listed there.

See also the user guide:

This, or posting a comment, makes the proposal move from the first table ("List of new Student Proposals sent to The Linux Foundation ") to the second ("Student Proposals already under review sent to The Linux Foundation") on the list of proposals:

http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/org/list_proposals/google/gsoc2010/lf

As long as you do not send me any special wish I do the following:

1. I ignore proposals with negative score

2. From all the rest I

a. If there is one "Possible mentor", I assign the proposal to this
mentor.

b. If there is no "Possible mentor", I assign the mentor with the
highest activity in comments or scoring.

c. If there is more than one "Possible mentor", I assign the
"Possible mentor" with the highest activity in comments or scoring.

So please do the following:

Propose yourself as mentor for good proposals and give negative scores for bad proposals. Send me e-mail if I have assigned a mentor and another should be assigned, or if you have other special wishes. I do not remove mentor assignments without assigning another mentor as long as you do not tell me that an application with assigned mentor is bad.

Please make sure that all proposals which are still in the first table ("List of new Student Proposals sent to The Linux Foundation") get reviewed and a mentor proposed, a comment, or a negative score given, so that I can assign mentors or ignore these proposals.

VERY IMPORTANT: All must be done by the end of Monday.
