Apparently things have changed this year. I'm still trying to track down 
what those changes are. It appears that you need your PMC's approval to 
be a mentor, but I can't seem to find that rule.

They typically allow for 4 hours of mentoring per week. Different 
projects do things in different ways. I used email as the time 
difference was quite significant.  As far as the actual amount of work, 
that too will vary. I don't think it is realistic to expect a student to 
work 40 hours a week, every week during what is their summer vacation 
(if they are in the Northern Hemisphere).  I would expect them to take 
some time off.
