Update with details for Google Summer of Code 2008 now that we have

been approved as a mentoring organization for the program.  Add the
list of example projects pulled in from the ideas page (with
class="soc" tags), proposal guidelines, student application deadlines
(due by April 1 0:00 UTC), etc.

+<h2>Mentors</h2>
+ 
+<p>A number of FreeBSD committers are willing to mentor students this
+  year.  A good place to start is the 'Technical contacts' listed with
+  the example projects on the <a
+  href="&base;/projects/ideas/index.html">Ideas page</a>.  In addition
+  to those specific projects, the following mentors are willing to
+  work with students in any of the broad areas listed below.</p>
+
+<p><em>Coming soon.</em></p>
+
+<a name="proposals"></a>
+<h2>Proposal Guidelines</h2>
+
+<p>Students are responsible for writing a proposal and submitting it
+  to Google before the application deadline.  The following outline
+  was adapted from the Perl Foundation <a
+  href="http://www.perlfoundation.org/gc/grants/proposals.html">open
+  source proposal HOWTO</a>.  A strong proposal will include:</p>
+
+  <ul>
+    <li><strong>Name</strong></li>
+
+    <li><strong>Email</strong></li>
+
+    <li><strong>Project Title</strong></li>
+
+    <li><strong>Possible Mentor</strong> <em>(optional)</em></li>
+
+    <li><strong>Benefits to the FreeBSD Community</strong> - a good
+      project will not just be fun to work on, but also generally
+      useful to others.</li>
+
+    <li><strong>Deliverables</strong> - It is very important to list
+  quantifiable results here e.g. 
+      <ul>
+        <li>"Improve X modules in ways Y and Z."</li>
+        <li>"Write 3 new man pages for the new interfaces."</li>
+        <li>"Improve test coverage by writing X more unit/regression
+        tests."</li>
+        <li>"Improve performance in FOO by X%."</li>
+      </ul>
+    </li>
+
+    <li><strong>Project Schedule</strong> - How long will the project
+      take? When can you begin work?</li>
+
+    <li><strong>Availability</strong> - How many hours per week can
+      you spend working on this?  What other obligations do you have
+      this summer?</li>
+
+    <li><strong>Bio</strong> - Who are you? What makes you the best
+      person to work on this project?</li>
+  </ul>
+
+<a name="infrastructure"></a>
+<h2>Infrastructure Provided to Students</h2>
+
+<p>In previous years, the FreeBSD Project provided access to the FreeBSD
+  Perforce revision control infrastructure in order to facilitate
+  student collaboration, provide public access and archiving for the
+  on-going student projects, and to help mentors and the community
+  monitor on-going work.  It is expected that students participating
+  in future programs will be offered the same facilities.  Students
+  will also be asked to maintain wiki pages on their on-going
+  projects.  In the past, e-mail, IRC, and instant messaging have
+  proven popular among students and mentors, and students
+  participating in the FreeBSD summer program are encouraged to use
+  these and other electronic communication mechanisms to become active
+  in the community.</p>
