Thanks very much Christian, for getting this information.
The only clue given by LH as to what we should have made better is the ideas
page (at http://argouml.tigris.org/wiki/Ideas_for_GSoC_2009).
I thought that the ideas page this year was a lot longer than previous
years. Perhaps it is not the length of the list that is the problem but what
the entries look like. I can agree that the "See issue XXX" entries don't
look good and with that many ideas we should probably have grouped them
based on interest or skill or something.
