Wow, it looks like we have way too many high-quality proposals for the 5 spots that have been allocated to us this year.
I just wanted to draw attention to the one project I've volunteered to mentor, a Jenkins plugin for the JaCoCo code coverage measurement tool (billed as the natural successor to Emma):

The student has been a great communicator and very responsive during the drafting and review of his proposal. 10/10 for interaction skills. He's got a solid plan as well as some personal experience in CI and build automation.
I know competition is stiff; I'm just speaking up to ensure this project gets its fair chance and doesn't slip under the radar.
Good luck to everyone.
