I was the second one responding to your request to fill the wiki page,
so I have time to follow GSOC. When I filled the table there was no
instruction how to compile that field [0] (usually I'm able to read
and follow instructions), I also think that info about ideas for each
mentor in that table is a copy of information provided by the proposal
page of each OSGeo project. For example  adding myself should I add
there only ideas where I'm the main mentor or also where I'm
co-mentor? There are mentor with tons of idea should they add all??

In addition how student could arrive to the proposal page without a
link to it? (yes it should go on top of the page -> clicking of link
for osgeo proposal and from this page look for the interested project
and finally arrive to the right page) I continue to think that the
link is the best option for that table

I would like to remember that all of us are volunteering, and we have
to share our energy/time with several projects/activities, so if you
"need the collaboration of mentors" please keep GSOC as simple as
possible
