XEmacs in Google Summer of Code?

Hi, XEmacsers Applications for mentoring organizations in Google Summer of Code are open. I am interested in mentoring students working on XEmacs, and would like to apply for XEmacs as an organization. Dealing with this is pretty urgent, as applications close on March 29 at 19:00 UTC. I need at least two, preferably three, positive and definite responses on the organization administrator and backup mentors (see 1 and 3 below) to go forward. (If we can't scratch together three people for backups in addition to a primary admin/mentor, we're hardly an organization!) In order to apply as an organization, we need a few things, as follows: 1. An organization administrator or backup administrator. The duties are fairly light, and I am willing to serve in one role or the other. I would prefer being backup, as there's a potential conflict of interest (I want to mentor, and the administrator is the first arbitrator in student-mentor conflicts). 2. One mentor per planned slot. Unless there's an amazing outpouring of support for the idea, I would guess 1, maybe 2 slots are all we can handle. Since I would like to mentor, we don't necessarily need another primary mentor volunteer. Also, co-mentoring is possible. N.B. Mentors need to provide contact information (email and phone, and IRC is a common medium for remote mentoring). 3. Two or three backup mentors in case a primary mentor becomes unavailable for some reason. The reason for planning for excess redundancy now is to allow some flexibility in that unlikely event, and because it would allow us to take on one more student than planned if there's a really good opportunity. 4. An ideas page. I propose to grab some of the stuff from Ben's Architecting XEmacs and Jamie's wish list, but I'd like review as to the size of projects in the list so we can strike off projects that are too big or too small (the Ideas Page is one of the primary resources for evaluation as a GSoC mentoring organization, so it should match GSoC well). A GSoC project needs to be pretty substantial: the student is expected to put in about 400 hours in the summer. There are some other administrative details in the application, but I can handle those. Let me know if you're willing to help as soon as possible!
