[OLPC-GSoC] GSoC Mentoring

[Wade Brainerd]

Mel & Jameson, do we have a way to have multiple mentors on a project this year?

If you guys were up for it, perhaps one of you could be the primary
mentor while the other serves as a backup mentor.

BTW, the reason for forking Pygame is that we need to finally
integrate Ryan Gordon's GTK SDL backend from April 2007 (gah).  This
is what will allow us to mix Pygame with regular GTK widgets.

This requires a forked SDL package, and thus a forked Pygame package.
