Hi All,
OSM has taken part in the Google Summer of Code programme for the last
few years, and we are thinking of applying to take part again this
year.
The programme is to encourage university students to participate in
open source projects.   They receive a payment from Google to allow
them to work on computer coding projects over the summer break rather
than taking other work.  OSM receives a small contribution for its
participation too.

To take part OSM has to provide a list of 'project ideas' for
challenging, but achievable projects, then offer a mentor to help the
successful students achieve their project goals.

We have started an ideas page at
http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/GSoC_Project_Ideas_2012.   Please
will you have a look, and add any project ideas you can come up with
to the list?
Also, if you would be willing to act as a mentor, please make a note
on that page too.

We need to complete the project ideas list this week, so please put
down anything you can think of eary.

If you would like any more information, please let me know.

Thanks


Graham.
