Hi Stefan, Vladimir

We should definitely move forward with this since organization submissions
start in two days. I would be more than happy to submit an application. Who
was responsible for submitting the application last year? Is there a
previous version of the application that we can update and resubmit? The
previous applications don't seem to be accessible from the SoC webapp. If
there's not one available by Monday, I'll just write up a new one.

I can allocate a page on the Wiki for project ideas.

Who is willing to mentor this year?

I think this is a good idea, but I think you're right... It's probably more
of a DocBook project.
