Is there a list of mentor volunteers or even better what project or<br>projects fall under the scope of the PSF this year. I started reading<br>through the applications so far and on some of the applications it's<br>hard to tell if some the the proposals that deal with external
<br>applications or projects should fall under someone else's SOC<br>mentorship or the PSF.</blockquote><div><br>Well, as the list-of-ideas shows, the PSF is open to pretty much anything (as long as it's mildly Python-related.) IMHO, the only reason to refer to another SoC organization is because the best mentor(s) for such a project are busy there. So far, the distinction between the different organizations is fairly clear.

<br>interested in and had mentors behind. It would be useful to have a list<br>or even a guideline from the PSF, so others of us who might not realize<br>a project has a mentor behind it won't suggest the PSF is not the right
<br>place for it.</blockquote><div><br>I don't pretend to speak for the PSF (at least, not anymore :) but I don't think the PSF should reject any Python-related project off-hand. Soya3D is listed on the ideas page ( <a href="http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode">
http://wiki.python.org/moin/SummerOfCode</a> ). This suggests (to me, at least) that one or more of the applied mentors can mentor it (or at least that someone thought there'd be a mentor for it.) Whether those mentors got accepted, I don't know, but I doubt we rejected very many ;-)
