Hello,

One of the GSOC aspirants just asked about that. So what's the limit?

Hello,

We do not know yet, it will be Google that will decide based on quality of project.

However, if you asked about the number of student per mentor, I think it is 1 student.

This is already a quite involving task. Trust me, you will not have time for more.

I can second that. I had two students last year and it was quite time consuming. I do not recommend. :)

I asked how to go about adding Lasp and never received an answer. Any advice?

I had a single grad student on Lasp last year and it wasn't too bad. I feel I'd have no problem taking two.

It's one student per mentor.
Some projects (like Xapian) have "shared" mentors.
So, officially each student has it's own mentor, but a student can ask any other mentor for help on their IRC channel or on the mail-list. But it will not work in our case, because beam-community is an umbrella for several projects.
