I thought about that, but it doesn't really work for SoC, maybe as a
general wish list it could - lets see after we get the SoC applications
in.

We post suggestions, but the students are free to propose whatever they
want to work on.  We then get a list of applications and a number of
slots.  We choose who we want based on their skills and proposal.

Once I get the list, I will talk to the mentors, make sure they are
happy with taking a student on for a task.  As our mentors make up the
major of our active coordinators, I will then just tell google what we
have decided :)

btw I could be wrong on some of this stuff - maybe check
http://code.google.com/soc :)
