Also about last year, are there known improvements other mentoring
organizations had out of SoC? (Like KDE, GNOME,...)
You can see the projects for KDE at [1], as well for the other organisations,
but I'm not sure if they published the final overviews that the other
projects published.
For what I can see by skimming through soc-admins right now, PHP project
launched a new version of [2] last october, with SoC work embedded; KOffice
1.6 contains at least two SoC projects results (KFormula and Krita
improvements), as Luca pointed out FFmpeg got a working VC-1 decoder (and
WMV3 came with that), and now the AC3 and AMR decoders are getting in shape;
Amarok got DAAP support half working during SoC and completed afterward (in
this case the developer was a previous Amarok developer anyway), 1.4.5 have
working both client and server DAAP support.
For boost you can look at [3], quoting:

And so Adium [4], NetBSD [5], Gallery [6].
There are a few more info that were posted directly on the list and as I'm not
sure if they were public, so I didn't quote or copy out of them, and I don't
have a pointer for them as the list is private.
I didn't find anything from us, note even as a post on the list, which is
somewhat disappointing.
