Yes!

I think we should apply as an organization.  If we're rejected, we can
still have students submit their proposals under the GNU
project... but this should be the fallback plan, IMO, because it
lessens the chance of any gdb proposal being approved.

I already got email off-list about this one :)
I suppose there are any number of possible projects in here.

I'm wondering if there is any summer-sized multi-inferior project.

FWIW, I'm willing to mentor a student.
