Important task this weekend: Finalize the SoC Ideas List

This weekend everyone has one very important task: Moving community-proposed ideas from http://groups.drupal.org/soc-2008 to http://drupal.org/google-summer-of-code/2008/ideas-list, which will lock down on Monday morning, when student applications open up. The ideas list is both SoC students' entry point to the Drupal community, and also where most of our SoC applicants will focus their applications. We want to make sure we have a good selection of fun, challenging, and important projects for them to choose from.

So please, check over the posts in the group, and if the idea was not proposed by a student and it feels like it has community support (the replies are generally positive, and you see a more +1s than "this is already done by the X module"), move it on over. If you can, update the initial post to give it a status (student proposal, moved to ideas list, needs work), but if not, leave a comment to that effect and myself or one of the other admins can take care of it.

I should point out that this has actually been the primary mentor task for the past two weeks (as noted by the sticky posts). I feel like maybe people are holding back, waiting for approval or something? If so, don't. You folks are SoC mentors. The big kahunas. The head cheeses. You've been entrusted with deciding what projects and students get selected for Summer of Code, based on your experience, knowledge, and talents. So you of all people are in the best position to have good judgment on what makes a good proposal idea. Jump on in! :)
