I've contacted a few of the Currently (when a student looks at the ideas page) it is not clear =20 what the 2007 label means. Removing the 2007 marker would be better. =20 Why do we need to keep it merked as a previous SoC entry? With the =20 2008 markers we explicitly tell that those items are encouraged to =20 take for the SoC. This means items without the marker are not =20 encouraged to take for the SoC. A part of the 2007 items has a WIP =20 link, and the rest has at least a technical contact. As such I propose =20 to our soc organizers (you and Murray, as both of you commit to the =20 ideas list), to remove the 2007 markers, as this would be less =20 confusing for the students and would give the same hint to not take =20 this (the good students will contact the technical contact before the =20 application anyway).
