First, what organization is Haskell.org?
That would be us, right here. Anyone who is interested enough in Haskell to be involved in mailing lists, IRC, distributing library code and tools, whatever.
Is this a real organization, i.e., a legal entity?
No. (Unlike e.g. the Apache Foundation.)

What are the obligations of a mentor?
(a) To carefully read and vote on quite a lot of student proposals. (b) If chosen to mentor a funded project, to guide the student throughout the project time, primarily by email (and/or IRC). Also to write two reports on progress (mid-term and final), that directly determine whether the student gets paid.
Hmm, I might be able to do (b) but doing (a) seems to demand more time than I could spend. Is there any possibility to only do (b) for a concrete project I have in mind?

Best wishes, Wolfgang
