Okay, so this year we've ended up with 9 slots by the looks, which is
pretty limited compared to the apps we'd like to accept... I figure
we'll want to do a final reranking based on:

	- how useful the project is
	- how necessary it is to have the project as a SoC app
	- how well prepared the student appears to be
	- how helpful the mentor's going to be
	- how likely the project is to succeed

If students or mentors would like to take the opportunity to add any extra
comments to apps over the weekend showing any progress that's been made
on the app or working with the mentor or similar since initial submission,
that'd probably be helpful.

Cheers,
aj
