Based on ["What should a mentoring organization application look like?"](http://code.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=60303).
1. **Describe your organization.**
6. **What license does your project use?**
- ikiwiki uses the GNU General Public License. The basewiki, incorporated into users' wikis, uses an all-permissive license. See <http://ikiwiki.info/freesoftware.html> for details.

7. **What is the URL for your ideas page?**
- <http://ikiwiki.info/soc.html>
+ <http://ikiwiki.info/soc/>
8. **What is the main development mailing list for your organization?**
The ikiwiki project strongly encourages collaboration through ikiwiki itself, and thus does not have a mailing list.
Anyone can create an account on ikiwiki's own wiki. ikiwiki provides a bug tracker, a TODO list, and the ability
to create a weblog on any page. ikiwiki also includes "discussion" sub-pages on every page. The developers and mentors
- monitor RecentChanges closely, via the webpage, email, and [CIA](http://cia.navi.cx), and will respond in a timely fashion.

9. **What is the main IRC channel for your organization?**
16. **What steps will you take to encourage students to interact with your project's community before, during and after the program?**
- Before the program, we will encourage any students interested in working on ikiwiki to contact us. We will advise them to create an account on the ikiwiki ikiwiki, look over the TODO items (<http://ikiwiki.info/todo.html>), add ideas of their own, and discuss existing ideas. We will also help them set up their own ikiwikis, both for experimentation and for actual use. We will suggest that students begin looking at the ikiwiki codebase and asking questions.

During the program, we would like all students working on projects to create a user page with an activity blog, and update that blog regularly with the status of their project. We also plan to aggregate these blogs into a single Summer of Code newsfeed, and suggest that students subscribe to this feed; this will allow them to observe the activity of their fellow students, to spur each other forward and help each other along the way. We plan to accept incremental patches towards a feature, or support students who wish to create their own branch.
17. **What will you do to ensure that your accepted students stick with the project after GSoC concludes?**
- Near the conclusion of GSoC, we will talk to each student about their future plans regarding ikiwiki. During the program, we will help the students set up their own ikiwikis if they have not already done so, and encourage them to use those ikiwikis to maintain a weblog, maintain their personal website, keep a TODO list, or do any of the other tasks ikiwiki proves useful for. We plan to encourage the students to remain active developers by helping them become active and interested users, and thus giving them a personal stake in the ongoing development of ikiwiki.
