Though we appreciate it, we don't require introducing yourself. And if you choose to do it, you can do it whenever you want. > Hooray!

Christian: is it possible to > accept multiple students for the same GSoC project? Unfortunately, I think there needs to be a different project for each GSoC contributor and GSoC rules ask for each contributor to work independently from other GSoC contributors. It's possible to have the same mentors for different projects though, so if the mentors for a project are OK with splitting it into different independent projects and mentoring all the independent projects, I think it could work. Best, Christian.
