-<h2>Example Proposal Ideas</h2>
-<p>The PostgreSQL Project has a wide range of opinions on what it feels are
-acceptable GSoC projects. The examples listed here are meant only as a
-suggestion of things we would likely find useful, but you should not feel
-obligated to pick from this list by any means. If you have just discovered a
-new algorithm as part of your thesis work, we would love to see a proposal
-implementing that in PostgreSQL. The point is that all proposals will be
-evaluated on their own merits, so be creative.</p>

-<ul>
-<li><strong>GSoC 2018 Project Ideas</strong>: are given on our <a href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GSoC_2018">GSoC 2018 Wiki Page</a></li>
-<li><strong>TODO Items</strong>: A number of the items on our TODO list have
-been marked as good projects for beginners who are new to the PostgreSQL code.
-Items on this list have the advantage of already having general community
-agreement that the feature is desireable. These items should also have some
-general discussion available in the mailing list archives to help get you
-started. You can find these items on the
-<a href="https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/Todo">TODO</a> list, they will be
-marked with an [E].

-<h2>Proposal Guidelines</h2>
-
-<p>From January 4th, 2018, students can apply to Summer of Code at the <a href="https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com">GSoC website</a></p>
-
-<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/how_to_write_a_proposal">open source proposal
-HOWTO</a>. A strong proposal will include:</p>
+<p>The mentors for GSoC 2018 are:</p>
<ul>
-<li><strong>Benefits to the PostgreSQL Community</strong> - a good project will not just be
-fun to work on, but also generally useful to others.</li>
+ <li>Anastasia Lubennikova</li>
+ <li>Atri Sharma</li>
+ <li>Andrey Borodin</li>
+ <li>Mark Wong</li>
+ <li>Aleksander Alekseev</li>
+</ul>
-<li><strong>Deliverables</strong> - It is very important to list quantifiable results
-here</li>
+<a id="2018projects" name="2018projects"></a>
-<li><strong>Project Schedule</strong> - How long will the project take? When can you
-begin work?</li>
+<h2>2018 Accepted Projects</h2>
-<li><strong>Bio</strong> - Who are you? What makes you the best person to work on this
-project?</li>
+<p>The PostgreSQL project accepted the following proposals:</p>
-<li><strong>Contact</strong> - How can we contact if we have questions about your project?
-It is important to be responsive and providing an email/IM/phone method for being contacted
-would help to make sure we can reach you as needed for project check-ins.</li>
+<ul>
+ <li>Performance Farm - Hongyuan Ma</li>
+ <li>Implement pg_thrift plugin - Yan (Charles) Cui</li>
+ <li>Sorting Algorithms Benchmark and Implementation - Kefan Yang</li>
</ul>
-<p>Please also see our additional <a href="/developer/summerofcodeadvice/">Advice to Students</a> <strong>before</strong> submitting a proposal.</p>
-
-<p>We would prefer that development discussion occur on our project mailing lists when possible, with special recognition being given to those students who vet their proposal with community developers before submitting their proposal to Google SoC. This is not required, but can have a large impact on the chances of your proposal being accepted, so please don't be shy. In any case, you will be required to keep open lines of communication with your mentor should you be accepted, so if you have circumstances that may affect this, please explain them up front in your proposal.</p>
