The AOLserver project was: AOLserver-GD integration: Further Rationalization of API, Sharing of Graphics Among Server Threads, Building Graphing and Sparkline Packages and Improving the Use of Autoconfig and SWIG by Matthew Gagen, mentored by Matthew Burke
As far as I know the student was a univeristy fresman so most of the efforts he put in understanding things in AOLserver & GD. Code produced by him is available at http://code.google.com/p/google-summer-of-code-2008-tcl/downloads/list, but the problem was that there was not much accomplished to be published (but Google required to publish something). During the process it was decided that we won't do the work for a student. Anyway the student did what he can and maybe there were some fault at the mentoring organizatation side that we didn't manage to handle his lack of skills (it was our first year). So in the end it was decided to give him positive evaluation for the effort he put into the project though result was quite dissatisfying. That is how I understand things from my conversation with Metthew during Tcl 2008 Conference. Matthew probably can give you more details, but it seems he is extremely busy now with his paywork at the university. More about a GSoC impressions can be found at http://wiki.tcl.tk/21777 or in the presentations givein during the European and US Tcl/Tk conferences. Success ingerdients seems to be: advertising possibility to apply to GSoC among students, proper student screening to choose promissing students, project subject tailored for the promissing student and a lot of communiction between mentor and a student. So we are looking forward that maybe you can provide some of these to be more successful this year..
