Hello,

thanks for the report.

Do I understand correctly that mentors only rate *their* proposals?

So, the raw output is this: if there is just one proposal for a project
it will be automatically rated as "amazing", even if the mentor (and/or
anybody else) doesn't have/take the time to rate it.

Apprently I'm alone in thinking this is not a good approach, so let 
it be.  But this will just postpone the problem: when Google will say
"Guys, you have 15 desired proposals and 11 amazing proposals, this is
too much, we give you 8 slots", how will we proceed?

Just trying to look a bit forward, thanks,
