By the way, I have found via LWN that Perl has written nice summary of theirs Google Summer of Code projects[1]. Among other they very much praise that students did blogging about their progress:
"use Perl | Summer of Code recap" http://use.perl.org/articles/08/08/29/1224242.shtml
Most of the students did a great job of blogging their progress, which I think is an important part of Summer of Code for the rest of the community.
What do you think about it (for example about doing it in a future if our informal Git Development Community would participate in next Google Summer of Code programs)?
[1] I plan to add quick summary of final results to GSoC2008 wiki page, http://git.or.cz/gitwiki/SoC2008Projects, of course if GSoC manager(s), mentors, or students don't do it first...
