[Scons-dev] Fwd: [GSoC Mentors Announce] Now Accepting Applications for Mentoring Organizations for GSoC 2014

[Bill Deegan]

Anatoly,

While I agree many of the things in your list would be nice to get done.

Few students would have the time to ramp up on all the info needed and make
some concrete contributions in the time allowed.

my 2cents.
-Bill
