[Bf-committers] Google Summer of Code!

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

> silly question, Can the Student ask for code help from here like  
> normal ?? It was kinda vague in the pdf for that.

Of course, just like anyone here. :)
A Mentor does have additional commitments though, this is from the  
google page:

- monitor the progress of the students and mentor them as the project  
goes forward.
- Be able to tell us about the developer, how they worked with the  
group, if they should be invited back should we do another summer of  
code, etc..
