Mozdev have accepted wrong proposals, stuff that no-one was interested in, or stuff that was impossible to complete by one person in one summer. And after all, mozilla.org was not involved, only mozdev.org was, and that was a huge difference IMHO. >From what I saw on NetBSD web-pages a while ago, there were quite some useful outcomes of the SoC 2005. Gerv's blog also reveals one other SoC participant that stayed with his mentoring organisation and was given 'official member' status sometime thereafter. Cheers, Constantine.
