Google decided to extend the student registration period in order to allow more students to apply, since most organizations reported (on the private mentors mailing list and on the program's IRC channel) that the number of applications is generally smaller than previous years. At the same time, the quality of the proposals seems to have improved for most organizations.

How do things look for XWiki? …

First milestone of the XWiki Enterprise 1.4 version.

Note that general goals for XWiki Enterprise 1.4 are:

• Switch to Java 1.5
