So how many lower-rate slots would that require? We've got 17 official projects
and 7 incubating projects according to the home page summary. With this year's
rates (full 350 £, student 240 £) and only 2 developers per project it could
account for a difference up to 110 £ * 48 = 5280 £. Not terrible after all.

I felt like doing some maths this morning :-)
