I presume you're asking if it's a joke that the deadline was extended. I'm very confident that it is not -- the deadline was extended last year as well (though only by a weekend rather than by an entire week)

Where did you hear about this extension? On the timeline it has NOT been updated to April 1st.

Thanks, Josh

I'm not sure I understand your question. You can have a look at calendar to find out, can't you? :)

Right, they MAY have extended that, but I'm asking where you heard that. Can you post a link? Also, you said the timeline in the FAQ has been updated accordingly. From what I have seen it is not. I'm asking why you say the timeline marks the change and it doesn't.

Sure it's not. Due to various reasons there was a significantly smaller amount of applications by the time deadline should have happened. Thus deadline was delayed.

If GIMP developers think they don't have enough proposals (and amount of slots is somewhat relative to amount of applications), it's time to do another PR session.

About my top-post, it's my fault, I'm sorry for that. But The FAQ of GSoC
(http://code.google.com/opensource/gsoc/2008/faqs.html#0.1_timeline) seems wasn't be changed by now.

I wouldn't call it schizophrenia. You said the timeline was already updated and was curious why it wasn't. That's all.

I'm beginning to smell some kind of schizophrenia :)

Allright, they haven't updated the FAQ yet - my bad, I was too fast.

Provide a link to a group which is open for mentors only doesn't make much sense, does it?

Bah; no worries. It's certainly a valid concern.

The student application deadline has been updated on the GSoC calendar. It hasn't been updated yet on the timeline linked to from the FAQ.
