Hello folks. The GSoC students have ironed out scope and schedule for their projects, and are ready to tell you about them and answer questions and/or hear suggestions. The links below have the project descriptions and schedules. Each student will hold a Q&A in IRCIRC Internet Relay Chat, a network where users can have conversations online. IRC channels are used widely by open source projects, and by WordPress. The primary WordPress channels are #wordpress and #wordpress-dev, on irc.freenode.net. according to the schedule below. Please come and show our GSoC students some support!

Oh, and re suggestions: Please be respectful of students and mentors and try not to assume that they don’t know what they’re doing. Sometimes it’s easy to get carried away — out of the best intentions — when giving advice, so once a suggestion has been heard, leave it to the students and mentors to decide if they’ll take the advice or not. Thanks!
