Haskell Summers of Code retrospective (updated for 2011)
The Wheel turns, and months come and pass, leaving blog posts that fade into 404s; a wind rose in Mountain View, whispering of the coming Winter... Tonight I sat down and finally looked into the 2011 SoCs to see how they turned out and judge them according to my whimsically arbitrary and subjective standards: http://www.gwern.net/Haskell%20Summer%20of%20Code#results-1 They turned out pretty much as I predicted - but then I *would* say that, wouldn't I? (Also submitted to /r/haskell for those who swing that way: http://www.reddit.com/r/haskell/comments/n82ln/summer_of_code_2011_retrospec... ) -- gwern http://www.gwern.net
I would be interested in what the hold-up is with the two Cabal
projects. Does the work need more clean-up or is it just stuck in the
Duncan-code-review pipeline? If Duncan is indeed the bottleneck,
maybe we should look into ways of taking some of the work off Duncan.

As I've said before. You clearly have a strong opinion about GSoC and care about the projects that are accepted. You should sign up as a mentor next year, even if it's only to review proposals and provide feedback. Especially if you think half of the projects are doomed each year. Jason
