Hi Ralf, Is there some experience about how much work mentoring is, I imagine it will depend very much on the individual student. But the answer is probably "fairly significant". and how much administrative work it is? Very little. Do the mentors sign up right away or only after a student has signed up? Right away, so you can review applications, even if you will be a backup mentor. Please do sign up at http://code.google.com/soc/mentor_step1.html.
