I agree, but I think there is also a merge problem. I mean we should also perhaps urge students to get what they have done merged as soon as possible even if it means that they rework 5 or 10 time the code instead of developing features according to the schedule.

But unfortunately even something merged into next can be removed afterwards, so it's really difficult, because big features cannot for obvious reasons be merged into master and the git release cycle doesn't always go along well with the GSoC schedule.

I don't think things are so simple.

Regards, Christian.
