 Tonight I sat down and finally looked into the 2011 SoCs to see how
 they turned out and judge them according to my whimsically arbitrary
 and subjective standards:

 They turned out pretty much as I predicted - but then I *would* say
 that, wouldn't I?

As I've said before.  You clearly have a strong opinion about GSoC and
care about the projects that are accepted.  You should sign up as a
mentor next year, even if it's only to review proposals and provide
feedback.  Especially if you think half of the projects are doomed
each year.

I would be interested in what the hold-up is with the two Cabal
projects.  Does the work need more clean-up or is it just stuck in the
Duncan-code-review pipeline?  If Duncan is indeed the bottleneck,
maybe we should look into ways of taking some of the work off Duncan.
