UPDATE: Tahoe was not selected to be sponsored by GSoC this summer. (They had something on the order of 400 applications and [accepted only 150](http://socghop.appspot.com/program/accepted_orgs/google/gsoc2009?limit_1=100&limit_0=200&offset_1=100), so this isn't too surprising.) However, this isn't the end of our nefarious schemes for world domination! We have the Mentors (excellent Mentors, which any student would be lucky to learn from), we have the Ideas, we even have the interest of a few Students, at least one of whom has said he wants to hack on Tahoe this summer even if Google won't pay him to do it. So the next step is for me to see if I can arrange for some Tahoe Summer of Code hacking even without google's commercial sponsorship. Stay tuned! --Zooko 2009-03-18
UPDATE: [this message on tahoe-dev](http://allmydata.org/pipermail/tahoe-dev/2009-March/001476.html) invites interested students to hack on Tahoe this summer for no pay -- just for the glory of it. :-)

*What could a smart student do in one summer, if they didn't need to worry about getting a summer job to pay the bills?*
