Speaking for myself (not PSF and not Google), I think all of those above are fine. If it generally helps python, it's a good thing. A new module for python, that might never go in the stdlib is fine. For example, the PSF funded a grant to enhance PySNMP. This module is unlikely to ever be included in the stdlib, but it's still beneficial to have. I think it was appropriate to fund and would have been fine as an SoC project too. Your questions are best answered from Google's site (I don't know the answers): http://code.google.com/soc/ > I am curious about last year's results for PSF projects: how many of how > many actually finished enough to collect the full stipend?

I thought we had something like 18 projects, there are 14 up on the page above. I don't really know anything about last year though. Perhaps David Ascher knows, I think he may have been in charge of SoC last year from the PSFs side. I don't know if David is on this list, but I copied him. n _______________________________________________ Python-3000 mailing list Python-3000@python.org http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-3000 Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-3000/archive%40mail-archive.com
