Oh boy in comes the political correctness brigade . Hi, I believe that we have a lot of images from flickr with sexual content. And there is no way to make sure that the (Fe)male on the photo agrees with the photo on commons or the licence it is under. I have tryed to nominate images

Hoi, When a Google Summer of Code project is about aspects of usability, then we have on the one hand the cost of mentoring and on the other hand the benefit of three months of work done by typically really dedicated people. We have seen that people who started in a SoC program continued to be
