Hi Rajeev, Only one of the projects from last year's idea list was completed for GSoC 2009. All of the others are still available and have posted to JIRA as potential ideas for this year. I just mentioned a few other possibilities on the mailing list [1].
I have to admit I haven't heard of DSD before so can't really comment on it. On a quick glance of the spec it looks like another schema language though not immediately obvious to me how it differentiates itself from the other existing ones. Thanks.
