Thanks, guys, for the comments. Mario, I've enjoyed working back and forth on pull requests with you!
Miham, it's been great to have someone to lean on wrt documentation; when you get people working that have an interesting/skill in one area it makes a stronger team. One of the things (I think I've mentioned) about learning Python that was so helpful to me was the tutor list where really helpful people answered questions and quickly got me over learning "bumps'. Because you answered so many questions about documentation, it raised my awareness of how to do things and that raises the level of code and documentation quality. Alan, thanks for your comments and work with the GA module. (I still don't know how to use it, but trying to get the doctests working gave me an intro. It's one of those areas where having good docstrings can help someone like me get an interest in a new area.) Ronan, perhaps I can still find some time to help with review. In one of my pull requests as I tried to respond to one of your suggestions I said that " your suggestions usually bear healthy but sometimes bitter fruit". I've truly grown thankful for the contributions you make and the time you take to point out errors in one's ways. I'm really a neophyte when it comes to OO programming and having someone with broader understanding to act as ballast is a boon to the project. Aaron, thanks for your kind words. You've got a lot on your plate with school and this project. I've appreciated your ability to pull facts and references together to help educate us about what we're working on. Although I don't check into the chat area very often these days, you seemed to be there often when I needed help on some aspect of the project and were willing to field questions. Ondrej, I thought I was making an exit about a year ago and you encouraged me to stay on. The good news is that a lot more got done; the bad news is there is still that never-ending garden with rocks in it! :-) I think in a project like this one must realize that it's mostly not a sprint. It's a "work in progresss" like Mt Rushmore. And when there are a batch of GSoC or Code-In people working on things, change happens quickly. And when there isn't...just relax, things will go slower. I have a hard time going slower--a fellow grad student from Mexico said I was like a "dog on a bone!". But I'd like to think that God has been able to teach this old dog a few things through work on this project, though. And I see you know how to lie with numbers! :-) Nobody that has done the heavy lifting should think that I am to enamored by my ability to cross t's and dot i's :-) And how could those numbers be what they are if it weren't for a lot of help from the community. The branches on the top of the tree grow great best when the roots and trunk are well. It's been fun working from this branch!
