We expect 80 students to participate this year - these will probably be arranged into 14 groups
==Potential clients that did not proceed, but could be considered in future==
- 10 with 6 members, and 4 with 5 members. We plan to offer at least 16 design briefs - preferably
17 or 18 - to allow for some student choice, technical lossage or client withdrawal.


Subsequent note - two of the design briefs can only be implemented in the C# language. We can't require students to learn C#, so these projects cannot proceed if we don't get a full team of volunteers. This means we can't count those two as full contributors to the above target, so new target is 19/20.
