I believe that we should modify the definition of our three mailing lists slightly.  What do you think of the proposal below?  Barring objections, I'd like to make these changes on Wednesday May 2, 2018.

summer-coding@lists.fedoraproject.org

This should remain a general discussion area for anyone involved or interested in the summer coding projects (GSoC, Outreachy, etc.) with open subscription.

Proposed New Description:

This special interest group is focused on defining and running student/project interactions.  Students are working directly on project contributions as a part of classwork or as a special internship, such as Google Summer of Code or Outreachy.

This SIG works with mentors from upstream and cross-stream projects relating to the Fedora Project, and any project that is an upstream of these projects.

summer-coding-discuss@lists.fedoraproject.org

This list will remain a closed subscription list.  The list will have subscribed to it all current year mentors and students to facilitate announcements and conversations.

Proposed New Description:

This list is for mentors, administrators and students to discuss anything related to the current year's Fedora Summer Coding programs (i.e. Google Summer of Code, Outreachy).

The Summer Coding SIG has separate discussions that are not about conducting the current program, at this separate list: http://lists.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/summer-coding

Subscribe the list if you are invited only.

summer-coding-mentors@lists.fedoraproject.org

This list will be rebooted as the closed list for mentors and administrators of the current year's programs.

Proposed New Description:

This list is for mentors and administrators of the current year's Fedora Summer Coding programs (i.e. Google Summer of Code, Outreachy) to discuss program issues, student proposals, and performance.

The list is private so mentors are free to openly discuss issues that are best discussed privately.  Topics include proposal acceptance/denial, performance, financial matters, student problems, and mentor problems.
