Google Summer of Code

[Alex]

Hi Yousuf,

ok, I just added Xfce as an organization (not yet applied yet, since a
flood of details missing)

Seems like each orga at least needs to have two members ... you just got
an invite. Please could you take care to fill in all the missing details  ?

Regarding projects:

- Possibly we can just bundle some issues planned for thunar 4.18

- WRT wayland, if we know what is missing/defect for which xfce
component, we possibly could sell that as a project

It would help alot if you could test each component on weston. Here more
details: https://wiki.xfce.org/releng/wayland_roadmap

Cheers,
Alex
