Yesterday we re-organized the wiki page for proposal submissions.
Two changes are worth to be mentioned:
1) we split two parts: one containing last year proposals, one
containing this year proposals. To avoid proposals remaining alive
just for inertia (possibly already completed / no longer needing work
/ ...) we kindly ask the proposers or anyone else interested in them
to "promote" them to the part containing this year proposals, better
if after a review of their content. Eventually we will remove
last-year non-promoted proposals.
2) to avoid cluttering too much the wiki page please put just a brief
description (one-liner?) in the list or this-year proposal and create
a new page linked from there with a more detailed description. You
can use the proposal template [4] for that, which also has room for
declaring yourself as an interested mentor for the proposal (if
interested)
Please read the beginning of the wiki page [3], since it contains all
relevant instructions.
To everyone which in the past few days contacted me, Steve or posted to
some mailing list with proposals: please add them to the wiki page and
create the appropriate page with details.
Go and propose something cool!, now it's the time.
Cheers.
