Wolf,

Ok, it would be good to work this out.

Understood.  Note that the only way to be sure you get only one student (AFAIK)
is for you to be listed as the mentor of record for only one project before
selection day.  You are in the same boat I was, initially offering for any one
of a variety of projects.  We just need to get it narrowed down before
final selection occurs.

Many mentors may offer to mentor a given student application.  Each OSGeo
project (such as GRASS) may have many mentors participating in SoC.  If
ultimately there are only two mentors from the GRASS community and they each
are only willing to take on one student, then the GRASS PSC's ranking should
*likely* only list two projects, one per mentor.

Best regards,
