One goal I have for the next meeting is to have the entire group consider where we are in our communications and give approval or fixes.
We really need to start making a lot of noise, but we need at least some of you to sanity check our messages.

I took at look at https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010#Mentor_responsibilities and, noticed that it doesn't explicitly or, implicitly state that the mentor has to provide a kernel of the idea. Is that intended ?

Not ambiguous on purpose. Yet, it's not a requirement - for example, filling the need at translate.fedoraproject.org was Dimitris idea entirely.
What about putting this at the bottom of this section:
https://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Summer_Coding_2010#What_to_do_with_your_ideas
"You are not required to provide an idea for students. Students may have their own idea and need a capable mentor for other aspects of Summer Coding."

I was thinking along the lines of 'if the mentor has an idea, however vague, of what the task and at the very least the objective, it would help put a priority to the task (in terms of relevance for Fedora) when scoring the applications'. But I see what you allude to. Sounds fair.

Like this one - own ideas are usually more interesting for students and that leads to better results!

As an aside, the GSoC involvement allowed us to use Melange. For the FSoC, is there a specific tool we are looking at ?
