Subject: Re: [docbook-apps] Google Summer of Code 2012


Kasun,

I have done neither, so far. If you know of any organizations that we should speak with, let me know and I'll approach them.

Regarding the application page, my plan was to save a copy of the current page and start a new page using the new application.

If you've got a little time and could start a new page with the application, that would be a big help because I'm in the middle of a very busy period for the next day or two.

Also, thanks for volunteering to be a mentor. I really appreciate it.

Richard
