Also, I don't think I necessarily need a mentor with a lot of experience in text (i.e. Richard) but just with Inkscape architecture in general. That would ensure Richard would be available for Felipe's application without precluding me being able to do mine.
I can only speak for myself but I believe it's true for all the applicants who already did a SoC project last year that they would need very little guidance, and for most questions it's probably a good idea to pose them to the whole developer community anyway. Maybe this encourages some of the more hesitant possible mentors to sign up anyway, even if they are doubtful about their available time (which as I seemed to gather was the greatest concern)? All would-be GSoC-ers would greatly appreciate it. :)
