+ Joey Hess developed ikiwiki, and serves as its primary developer and maintainer.
+ Josh Triplett and Jamey Sharp maintain numerous ikiwikis, and have experience hacking on ikiwiki. They developed and currently maintain a set of scripts to convert other wikis to ikiwiki.
14. **What is your plan for dealing with disappearing students?**
15. **What is your plan for dealing with disappearing mentors?**
-
+ All three mentors understand the responsibility they will undertake, and they will not abdicate that responsibility lightly. In the unlikely event that one of the mentors cannot follow through with a project due to exigent circumstances, the other mentors will take up the slack and help the students working on projects with that mentor. Furthermore, we intend for all mentors to help with all projects to some degree, by collaborating with the students through ikiwiki.
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.
