Hi Bryen,

It's the Outreach Program for Women and they (i.e. Marina ;) are the ones running it so I've cc'ed that list here.

I was notified yesterday there was some interest in being mentored for
the GNOME-A11y marketing stuff and I need to add the possible projects
we can do in the time-frame of this internship.

That's awesome! 

I'm unclear at this point from reading that link, what the Program wants
to see from mentors.  E.g., do we need to send periodic reports on the
progress of our interns, do we provide a final report, etc.  Mainly,
what are all the administrative tasks of the mentor.

I believe the main responsibility of the mentor is making sure the intern has everything they need. So the most time consuming part will be evaluating applications, selecting a student, helping them get started, finding a project that works for them, helping them get connected to the right people, making sure they have what they need to be productive, etc.

From an administrative side, you will be responsible for reporting on how the student is doing. I think that will officially happen twice: once half way through and once at the end.
