However, I suggest that we either remove such orphaned projects or at least compress and move them down to the bottom of the page. A concise page with actual and current projects is quite important for attracting students, I think.
Sorry for the delay responding... I'd rather not lose them from the website entirely just because they don't currently have a mentor (as long as we think they are viable student projects). What if next year new/old mentors are available?
But since you think it's important to remove or demote those projects... Why don't we move them to the "attic" page. Then next year we can easily look at them again to see if mentors are available and we want to promote them back up to the GSOC page?
Might also be worth putting the grace note one there with a note that we decided it was too much for a GSOC project. Otherwise people may re-propose it in the future.
The question is what will remain, and I *strongly* encourage all of you to consider the existing list and/or think about projects that could be suitable for a student to tackle in three months of full-time work, and where you could consider volunteering to be listed as a mentor.
I haven't been able to think of any new projects. I'd consider being a mentor for something involving scheme, but I haven't had a chance to look at the list or think further about it.
