Fwd: [GSoC Mentors] GSoC Org Ideas List should be solid by this Monday at 19:00 UTC for review

[Umesh Singla]

 No, I'm not receiving the emails from mentors list and the content on the
GoogleGroups is not visible to me.

I at least moved the Qt5 project up in the list after confirmation from
Michael Dickens, but can work on improving the project descriptions now,
sure.

Thanks for letting me know.
