The application period is still a about a month out, but one of the things we do need to get on sooner rather than later is getting people to volunteer to mentor so we can get the ideas section right by the time we actually apply. We also need to gauge how many interested devs we might have for mentoring this year so if you're interested, please reply saying so.
I am interested in mentoring. I can also write up some project ideas.
I think a good student project would be to introduce Inkscape::ObjectSet as a base class of Inkscape::Selection that's not tied to the UI, and change the internal data structure from a list to a Boost Multi Index container (similar to Java's LinkedHashSet).
Another idea is to write unit tests for Inkscape's object tree ("SP tree").
