[Building Sakai] Google Summer of Code is on again

[Carl Hall]

And now registration for mentoring organizations has opened (see email
below).  I wouldn't mind being the org admin again if there are no
objections.  I can get the organization application submitted by the
deadline.  Google usually asks for how many slots we would like.  Have
there been any proposed projects or ideas collected?  I'll dig up our old
confluence page for this to get the ball rolling.

Everyone, please toss in your ideas for projects or project areas.  It's
great to have public brainstorming to help us drive interest to the right
areas of the application.  It is the "Summer of Code", so Google requires
that the project produce actual code but this is a beautifully broad
opening for us.

We need ideas as well as mentors and everyone is invited to participate.
 Please let us know if you'd like to mentor and/or have ideas.  The two are
not mutually exclusive or inclusive.  I look forward to your input!
