Google's Melange site is a disgrace, it is truly horrible. I suspect it is something written by someone who is a failure as a Web applications developer. Having you hectoring us makes things happen, do not stop doing this please. I will try to keep hectoring folks, but you all get a break at least for the summer :o)

Thank you very much for taking the initiative and lead on this, Craig. Having done this myself (with Andrei), I know how much work it is. I'm sorry it didn't work out in our favor, but it's important that you tried. Thanks for the kind words.

I'm glad you asked, please follow through politely if at first you don't get an answer; Carol is very nice but (a) at this point in the GSoC timeline she's super busy, and (b) she won't reply to any question about rejection that alleges unfairness. So a kind request for what we can do in the future to improve our chances might fare well. We've done well, I think, in 2011 and 2012 (except for the one student who failed to deliver) so something about our reporting might have failed GSoC's expectations. Andrei
