My mentorship is still pending according to Google, and my proposal is (unaltered) still on the wiki. I never received emails from students (I doubt they have my email address, even though it would be easy to find). Can someone tell me what will happen next?

Submissions by students are now closed, and we have a breathing space while the current mentors rank applications etc. So far we've been deliberately very conservative in selecting mentors: in a large part because we don't know what we're doing yet (it's Boost's first year of participation remember). Also we want to try and limit the number of student projects requiring a full Boost-review during August, there's clearly a limit to how many we can cope with. However, we've had a lot of high quality applications, so it is possible we'll start looking for additional mentors at some point. Basically what I'm trying to say is: we're not ignoring you, we're just being cautious until we have a better handle on things. I hope this explains where we're at, Regards, John Maddock.
