</div>I meant using the Private Comment functionality to put in their notes<br>
and observations as well as conclusions if they so desire. Since those<br>
notes are available to OrgAdmins and other mentors, it helps document<br>
the conversation while keeping it restricted to a private group.<br>

</div>As in, The Fedora Project is using the Student Evaluation Matrix as a<br>
tool in this GSoC. Were the mentors informed of this change before?<br>

<br>
</div>The mentor recommends. Selecting and assessing is still something that<br>
the OrgAdmin does together with the mentors. The entire organization<br>
is involved in selecting the best proposals.<br>
<div class=""><div class="h5"></div></div></blockquote></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br></div>No this is not the way that we operate things. Mentors select the best proposal out of the valid submitted proposals.</div><div class="gmail_extra">
Then Org admins go through the Student Evaluation Matrix and discuss with the mentors about the final selections.</div><div class="gmail_extra">The entire organization can not be participated and not practical since the entire org is not aware about the degree of the relationship that the mentors have with the student and the understanding about the technical background. So as before the mentors who related with the idea select the best proposal they want to go. So obviously they can get together and discuss this on the private comments and come to an agreement, this is mentors business. But the agreement should be communicated via the Student Evaluation Matrix for Org Admins.</div>
