[Biojava-l] GSoC timeline

[Andreas Prlic]

Hi,


The Open Bioinformatics Foundation just submitted our application for this
year's Google Summer of Code.  For a full timeline of the next couple of
weeks see the bottom of this message.

In the meanwhile we should still improve our project descriptions a bit:

All possible Mentors (also people that are interested in being co-mentor
but have not proposed a project) please update out GSoC page and add your
name to the list of mentors. For the project descriptions, it would be good
to improve the way the descriptions are structured.  Can we add the
following sections to each of the descriptions? Rationale, Approach &
Goals, Difficulty and needed skills
