Hi mentors,
    it is always very encouraging to see the interest from students 
before the official student application period starts.

Some suggestions from my side to get the students started on your 
projects so that the best student gets to work on your project. There 
will be limited slots (opening 9 April 2014). So we will have to pick 
and choose the best students.

* We want dedicated students who are serious about finishing their GSOC 
task. Mentors are here to help and guide as necessary. But if the 
students are not dedicated, then it will show late in the process. :)
* Students should be able to use the "Getting Started" or "Installation" 
guides to get your projects up and running. Mentors should try to 
validate this by asking for a report from students on the steps they 
followed to get your project running.  Maybe they can write blog posts 
on how they used your projects.

Any other suggestions?

Regards,
Anil
