Probably searching the archives of this mailing list during that summer would be your best option. I was the mentor for that GSoC project, and the reason for its failure is that the Django template language proved too slow for the template-based system we proposed for rendering form widgets and form layouts; form-rendering speed suffered by an order of magnitude in some cases. There was another GSoC project that summer to speed up the template language and for a time we'd hoped that would provide a solution, but that project also failed in the end.
