How to sign up to mentor/be an intern

Where can I go to join the program or submit an idea?

To submit a project idea, check out the Summer of Content project ideas page. We're building the sign-up sections for interns and mentors right now, and they should be done by the end of the day (Wednesday, July 18). If you want to be notified when they're ready, leave your email contact information at the bottom of this page and we'll send you a message when they're ready to go. Mchua 10:04, 18 July 2007 (EDT)

Summer of Content 2007

There are two 2007 sessions planned - an initial pilot season over August and September, and a session starting in December and running through February.

Contact me when the applications are up!

notes on orthogonality

projects have multiple authors
multiple interested interns
multiple experienced/interested mentors
interns have multiple project interests
interns have one personal application and description of interests
mentors have one personal applicatoin and description of experience
there is no restriction on projects <--> applications.  
 a project may end up being proposed by an anon and never have any interested mentors or interns

on nesting templates

Check out the design of the HIG. Eben and I spent a while working out the right recursively nestable page structure so that each page makes sense on its own, and has sensible headers, some of which show up on the leaf page and others which show up in transclusion. if you want to include header navs, make sure they are noincluded.
