Our problem at this point is to recruit mentors.=C2=A0 Whoever submi= ts the
project proposal on the Outreachy website[1] applies to become a mentor. This is then either approved or declined by Ludovic or myself.

The project idea sounds good, but we really need a mentor who feels
responsible for this project and who will be able to guide an intern
throughout the application phase and the three-month internship between
from May to August.

I would be very happy if someone who is willing to oversee this project
would write a draft and submit it on the Outreachy website[1].

I volunteer to be a co-mentor for when the main mentor needs a free
weekend or something like that, but I can only assist, not lead the
project.
