I did not want to create the impression that the students did something wrong; if it came across like that then I wish to apologize. I was a mentor with GSoc 2008 myself, and I think that "my" student - Mario who did the Osmarender front-end - did a very good job, but nevertheless his work did not resound with the project in the way I would have expected it to. > I consider GSoC 2008 a succes, and totally think we should > participate again.

I'd rather see people propose their own idea and then follow it through than adopt someone else's! I'll make it a point, from now on, whenever someone says "wouldn't it be cool to have ...", to answer: "Why don't you make that idea into a SoC project for yourself?".
