Google SoC
Folks,
As many of you might have seen, the Google SoC 2010 is approaching[1]. Would it be a good idea to start collecting a few ideas and explore SoC possibilities ?

I've done it before, with some good results. (and some bad ones too)
The mentors willing to help is a big one... a student will probably soak up 3-4 hours a week in the first weeks as they get their feet wet. most of mine just pinged me directly until they got the message to ping the mailing list ;-0.
open source development is dramatically different than the assignments they do @college and it takes a bit of getting used to for them.
The projects should be smallish in nature.. they have 3 months or something to complete it, and most of them don't work full time on it.
so if you think it would take yourself a month to do, it would be suitable for them to do in 3.
and also you want a clearly defined deliverable at the end of it.
as for an idea. I think a complex example using cassandra as a back end would be useful, so that others can take that project and see how to do things.

Good. I think we need two things:
a) List of projects / features that are possible candidates
b) Mentors willing to help
And of course, a SoC wiki page or part of a page, for potential students to look at. I can get a crack at setting up the page and identifying a few ideas as a starting point. Thoughts ?
Cheers

I hadn't thought about that, but it's a great idea.
I imagine the ASF will be a qualified organization once again with no
further work necessary on our part in that area, so all we'd need to
do would be come up with projects of appropriate scope.
Any ideas there?
