I know Zdenek was mentoring some students in the previous years, but
he's been a bit hard to reach recently. And the deadline is near.

I've read some info about the program on a wiki, but I'm not sure what
should the students do. Let's say they will read the list of project
ideas on the wiki, and they'll choose one or two of them. What should
they do next? Should they write to the pgsql-students mailing list?

I guess most of the students won't have much experience with PostgreSQL,
and most of the ideas is described just very briefly, so they'll need
help with the proposal.
