We tried 12 but didn't get any slot, then we got it for 13&14.

... and, at least for 1 project, the mentor disappeared shortly after as well 
:-P... sorry about that, need to check the status of that interactive lyx

1 thing at a time :-)...

I see, interesting but sad conclusions, seems we were involved in 2008, 11, 
12?, 13, 14 [1]...

Thanks,

- No one was overly excited to continue with GSOC.

- There are still some unfinished dormant pieces which never make it to the 
master
  and waiting in pipe. Correct me if I am wrong but even the parts which 
finally make
  it to the trunk were mainly finished by mentors and not students, who 
disappeared
  after GSOC finished. So although some projects could be considered success in 
terms
  of getting new feature done at the end, we did not get single new dev from 
the program.

- There seemed to be agreement that we should not again accept students which do
  not show reasonable activity on ML before project starts.
  From active developers, is there anyone around who can be considered GSOC
  student participant and interested in GSOC on top of that?
