Hi Kai,

This looks to be a good GSoC again :). Kai, why don't we set up a
Google spreadsheet with the names of the students and each one of us
rates proposals on a scale of 1-5 (5 being brilliant, 4 being good, 3
being average and 2 and 1 being bad.).

The way we did it in other years is 3 rounds. First round every mentor
rates their *own* student only. In the next ronud all mentors rate *all*
students (students without a mentor and bad proposals drop off). 

In each case when rating a student put in a comment too. Make sure to
tell how a student has interacted in the proposal phase, what his
current coding looks like, how responsive he is... And you can still
push him to do stuff. We like it when students keep responsive, also
in this phase.

In the 3rd round the org admins make the final ranking and
decision to set the number of slots. By this stage we will be pretty
clear about the individuals involved (and note that mentor activity
counts too).  When Google allocates the slots the top-ranked students
get in. 

Pj.
