In particular, mentors should prefer a more readable code with less features, than a code that became messy next to deadline just to quickly finish.&lt;/ins&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;This page collects suggestions and ideas for improvement of OSGeo Google Summer of Code.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Penguin mentoring''': as penguins are known to take care together of youngs, forming [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Crèche_(zoology) crèches], I'd suggest to mimic this behaviour in GSoC. Each student would still have an official assigned mentor, but he/she can also ask other mentors for help, for example on soc mailing list. This has been done in past editions asking to the project's developers community as a whole, and I think it helps the student's integration in the dev team. Penguin mentoring would act as a third help source, in addition to official mentor and developers' community. It would be especially useful when the official mentor is not reachable.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''More project interaction''': Some (virtually all) SoC projects can benefit from more interactions with other related projects. This can be done with a net of cross-project proposals, more discussion among mentors and students from related projects, meetings on IRC... &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
* '''Add your idea here''': Explain it here.&lt;br /&gt;
