I can't believe I let this slip all the way to page 4 :o)

GSOC organization deadline is 3.5 weeks away, and while there 
have been a few ideas proposed here, we don't have too much that 
is concrete.

I will try and get to work on filling in the idea's page with 
what we have so far, but still need more ideas from the 
community.  Note, if you have an idea you also need to either be 
able to mentor, or even better, volunteer someone else.

For the time being the following people are listed as potential 
mentors for projects already on the idea's page (from last year):

Andrei Alexandrescu
Iain Buclaw
Bruno Medeiros
Jens Mueller
Martin Nowak
Jacob Ovrum
Amaury Sechet
Russel Winder

I would like to get confirmation from each of you if you can 
mentor this year (and if your name is attached to a project, can 
that still be a go).  If I don't have confirmation I will have to 
drop the mentor/project, as it would look really bad if students 
submit proposals and we end up saying "Oh, sorry that individual 
can't really mentor you ... maybe you should try something Rust 
related."

Cheers
