Oh good, I was about to pick this up if noone else did.

Did you see this: http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code/wiki/ 
AdviceforMentors ?

We need a proposed projects page I think - wiki page or something.
Like these: http://code.google.com/soc/ - click the ideas links for  
examples.

Also, have you found the link to apply as a mentor organization?  I  
can't find it and the FAQ is annoyingly unhelpful.

I'm good with being a mentor.

I think you should just make a page - proposed summer of code  
projects and announce it on Squeak-dev/newbies.

Let me know if I can help you.
