I’ve just put in Wikimedia’s org application for Google Summer of Code 2009… Hopefully we’ll get in. :)
We’ve had mixed luck in previous years with GSoC, but I think we’ve got enough internal bandwidth this year that we can make sure there’s enough effort put into interacting with the student candidates ahead of time to pick the coolest and most go-get-em self-starter awesome projects and then support them through the project term.
I’ve tossed up a student application template if you want to get started early. :)
Update 2009-03-18: We’re in!
