Talk:Outreach programs/Lessons learned

Nice page, I see concrete useful guidance here which will make the difference in the future. I particularly appreciate «Interns must submit their contributions soon and often». Deferring everything to a big import/merge of all your code from your own branch (or worse, repo; even worse, local code) at once is extremely dangerous. --Nemo 07:26, 17 October 2013 (UTC)

Having two mentors
Is the two-mentor requirement really a "lesson learned"? Looking at the set of past GSoC projects, I don't see any strong statistical evidence that two-mentor projects have succeeded better than one-mentor projects, either at creating usable code or at retaining the student afterwards.
