[Dspace-general] [Dspace-tech] Google Summer of Code --- and DSpace?

[Robert Tansley]

DSpace can be a mentoring organisation -- we just need an organisation
administrator as the main point of contact (I can do this if it makes
sense to people), and mentors to work with the students.  If some
committers or active community members are willing to step up to this
we should definitely put in an application.  (Committers? ;-)

I seeded an ideas page on the Wiki -- please add your ideas!
