to choose another project.
i have already done a lot of thinking on this project. if possible we both
can design half projects respectively because i assure i can do this also
and quite well.
please consider my proposal and think about it.
please it is a request

How can project ideas being assigned to a student

says he has already selected one student for this project. this is not
fair.
So this is about

I have asked the mentor for more details. Yaron has a very good track as a
mentor of students that are indeed strongs and complete their projects, but
I also see your point.
The replies of my colleagues, all with mentor/intern experience, are very
valid as well. While this approach might have this problem, the frequent
alternative (not to say anything for fairness, even when you have already a
very strong candidate) generates a lot of extra work to candidates with
less options in that exact project. Meanwhile, these candidates might be
missing good opportunities in other projects still looking for
candidates... and in this sense it is also fair to warn them and encourage
them to focus in other projects where they might have better chances.
While we cannot be certain about measuring the fairness of each approach, I
can assure you that the Wikimedia mentors and community all go an extra
mile or two with a process that enforces transparency and public
participation well beyond GSoC's requirements.
