Hi, With the cut-off date for submission of proposals behind us, this is the time to review the proposals. Usually, this is also the stage when the mentors can assess a student fairly objectively while building up a rapport. It is possible that the review phase will narrow down or, extend the scope of the original proposal from the candidate. It is always a good idea to be mindful of the fact that the candidates/students have other things on their plates and as the GSoC term progresses, they may demonstrate a varying degree of interest. I will be spending a bit of today/Saturday and tomorrow/Sunday mostly putting in private comments around any aspect that may be a concern. Meanwhile, I will request the mentors (for the ideas) to take a look at the submissions. For the ideas which have received multiple suggestions, it provides the organization with an easy way to qualitatively compare. /s -- sankarshan mukhopadhyay <https://about.me/sankarshan.mukhopadhyay>
