Hi All,

Another thing to note is part of the application is our ideas page. So
to be accepted we need a great ideas page. Unfortunately the timeline
on this is short as the appliication is due on Friday.

It is especially helpful to mention ways they can contribute to
already existing OSM projects. Often we've had project that were brand
new and I'm not sure we really succeeding in bringing many students
into the community that way.

Best,

-Kate
