This is missing an explanation what the tags mean. A student may

Are there projects where a follow up in the SoC 2008 could be

What I basically did is take ideas for whom a significant amount of
work was done towards the goal as part of GSoC 2007 and mark them as
soc-2007 instead of soc on the basis that we weren't immediately clear

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