Great to hear that.

I don't see a valid reason for a quick learner to worry much about the
lack of mentors. I agree, the lack of mentors in OS X. But it was the
case mostly for Windows too. So just start on this, I would say. I
don't see a valid reason to reject an excellent
application, just for the reason of lacking mentor. We will have to
discuss more on this, I agree. But that shouldn't prevent you or
anyone interested in Mac OS X to apply. We have to get back to the
speed on Mac port, and I see GSoC as a good entry point to that. We
all are learning!

It is really one among the top, obviously.

No need to limit yourself to these two. You can propose or come up with a hybrid
project of these two or a completely new project on Mac (or of course,
on the other
platforms as well).
