all people can comment on it but only mentors can score it. Doug and me are mentors and we support your proposal (of course). There will also be others that can and will score your proposal. I'm confident it will attract votes from other mentors and I'll also write a blog post when the proposal ranking is officially opened.
Do you want us to take any special actions?
Best,
Marcel

Hi Doug & Marcel,
It seems that GSoC's proposal ranking period will start soon. If more mentors are interested in a candidate proposal, this proposal will gain more chance to win. So, if possible, we can invite all committers in Code Recommenders to have a review of our proposal in Google Melange system[1], leave comments or score it.

My preference is to use the built-in scoring system to rank
proposals. We've had mixed results from it in the past. If we
collectively decide that there's some problem with the results it
produces, then we can collectively decide how to address it.
The ranking system works best if all mentors review and score all
proposals. However, this is generally not reasonable, so it's best
if mentors review and score at least a few proposals (other than the
ones that they themselves are directly interested in).
Students, it is *your* responsibility to make us want to review and
score your proposals. The best way to do this is to spend a little
extra effort on your proposals to make sure that they are sensible,
reasonable, and generally easy to understand. If information is
missing, but the proposal is otherwise sensible and reasonable,
we'll ask for that extra information.
Mentors, feel free to ask your colleagues to join on as mentors and
have a voice in how proposals get scored.
Thanks,
Wayne

Hi all,
I'm participating the first time in GSoC as a mentor for The
Eclipse Foundation.
I'm a committer of the eTrice project and we have students eager
to work on all of our project ideas.
They are preparing their proposals right now.
As I understood the mentors of The Eclipse Foundation will rank
all student proposals related to Eclipse.
How does that work?
I saw that some of the proposals already have votes.
Is that the means of ranking?
How many votes does each mentor have?
