You got it right but this is not what it looked like when you wrote a
table called "2009 Proposals" with a blank column "Students?"
separated from a section called "Project Ideas".
Also, as I said, if you want students to contact you (or someone)
directly, then you should give contact information. I think having
contact information (obfuscated email, link to wiki user page, IRC
name at #gcc, whatever) could be very useful to track who proposed
what. That is why I did not delete it.

This is perfectly fine. The only problem is that there were already
proposals in that page.
Table or bullet points, I do not care, but both things are a bit
confusing. Nonetheless, there could be a list/table of specific
projects and another list/table of "general" ideas. I think it would
be useful to separate the two, if you wish to do so.
Cheers,
Manuel.
