Count me in as a potential mentor.

I have spent a bit of time recently to document a couple of Git for
Windows-specific projects thoroughly, I could easily copy/paste them
there, too. (Yaaay, Markdown! Now, if only we could use it in Git's man
pages, too...)

Ciao,

I am ok to be admin and mentor.

Nice!

I will fill in the application.

Thanks,
Christian.

Cool :-)

In case you missed it: there's an iCal/Google calendar link on
the timeline page:

  https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline

If you use an electronic calendar, it's nice to add it to make
sure you never miss a deadline. The URL is the same every year, it's
how I got a reminder that the application was open.

From the application site I filled in the application forms and
registered as an admin for this year and sent invites to Stefan,
Matthieu and Dscho. If one of you guys accept the invite, we will have
completed our application.

I copied the above pages and the application page to new 2018 pages so we have:

https://git.github.io/SoC-2018-Ideas/
https://git.github.io/SoC-2018-Microprojects/
https://git.github.io/SoC-2018-Org-Application/

I updated a bit the above pages but there are probably more
improvements to be made. Especially I kept only the projects that both
Dscho and me accepted to mentor last year as it looks like we are the
only possible mentors this year.

Dscho, please copy paste what you have in the above pages.

Thanks,
Christian.

Great!

It looks like you also accepted the invite to be an admin, so we are 3
admins now (Matthieu, you and me), maybe 4 if Dscho joins, so our
application is complete.

We can still improve the Idea and Microproject pages though:
