Graham's worst fears...  If I remember correctly, we had two
applications for the Google Summer of Code, and only one has been
accepted under the GNU umbrella.  Before dispersion fights start, it
might make sense asking the other applicant whether an admittedly
smaller sum like this might enable him to embark on his project or part
of it.

It would appear that the prize itself would be newsworthy for trying to
convince schools particularly in France to consider opening venues for
their coursework to make use of LilyPond, an enterprise that Valentin
has previously undertaken with somewhat lukewarm results IIRC.

Make a ponding of the award, and point to the contest site (if any) for
the details.  Like the awarded sum.  I'd find it weird to flash numbers
on our main website.

Certainly a nice endorsal.

I think this qualifies for a news item - after all, it's *LilyPond*
who won.  Graham?
