A framework to work inside of would help a lot. But beyond just being a rep... we need some guidance on how to tell students and faculty how to take on Fedora relevant work as academic projects. >From my personal point of view, I already know what Fedora relevant work I want to encourage students to work on. I don't need a list of ideas, nor do I need a list of mentors.
