 Please feel free to ask our [https://pidgin.im/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devel devel mailing list] or [wiki:PidginCommunity#FindingUs XMPP chat room] for clarification, or if want to get feedback on an idea, or if you have any other questions.
 
-== Important points ==
- * This list is editable by anyone with a wiki account—not just Pidgin developers! So these projects are not necessarily endorsed by the Pidgin project.
- * We have traditionally not funded development or bounties ourselves. We have no problems with 3rd parties or bounty websites funding development. Our standard code acceptance criteria applies (the change must be desirable by Pidgin users, code must be clear and concise, etc).
+== Disclaimer ==

 == Summer of Code-specific information ==
  * Ideas on this list might be too easy or too hard for Summer of Code. In such cases you may wish to combine projects or reduce them.
- * These are '''''NOT''''' the only ideas we will consider.
- * Students are encouraged to think of original ideas.  A well thought-out original idea may well win out over any of the projects listed below.

  * We don't see a need to choose mentors ahead of time. We typically choose the most appropriate developer for a given project and assign them as the mentor once we've accepted each project. We also have no problems with you requesting a specific mentor (e.g. if you've been talking to a developer about a project).
