2006 Summer of Code Projects (14)
The Drupal community would like to congratulate 14 exceptional students who have been selected to write code with the financial support of Google. Each of these students have demonstrated a high level of ability, enthusiasm and understanding for the tasks they have chosen to work on. As they begin their work they will be assisted by a team of 36 experienced mentors. With the outstanding quality of the applications, and the large team of mentors who are available to assist, I can't help but think that 2006 will be the most exciting summer that Drupal has ever had!
In addition to the assigned mentors listed above, Angela Byron and myself (Robert Douglass) will be on constant standby to assist students in any general or specific way that we can. Furthermore, the following community members have also expressed interest in helping out as mentors and should be considered a valuable resource for students seeking help:
Aaron Pava, Allie Micka, Amazon, arnabdotorg, Boris Mann, cryptonomikon, drewish, escape164, fax8, Flanker, geilhufe, gordon, GregoryHeller, grugnog, marcp, peterx, praseodym, puregin, sofiya, steve dondley, zacker

your digg story
your digg story suggests that the XUL interface was accepted. Reading Ben Franics' post on the dev list, I think this was not the case (unless there was another XUL entry.)
Too bad, really one of the interesting services for the future of drupal.

I would be glad help with the Social Network Analysis project as that is a tool I could use right now! Please contact me at ruby at netcentriccampaigns.org or http://drupal.org/user/56503/contact
Thanks to Google for funding this and to the mentors for supporting it.
Thanks to everyone
Thanks...
...to the students who gave the SOC applications their best shot.
...to the students who were actually accepted and who will give/are giving Drupal and its community even better functionality.
...to the mentors who so graciously gave/give their time to the many outstanding students.
...to all the users and developers that help out with the code, the forums, etc., for it's because of the community that Drupal is the outstanding platform that exists today and, in part, why Google views Drupal in a positive manner.
...and of course to Google for being such an incredible supporter of so many open source projects.
A special "Thanks!" to Robert Douglass and Angela Byron for all their hard work in putting this together. SOC wouldn't be as successful for Drupal without you two.

A review of last summer's results...
Did anybody ever do a review of last summer's "Summer of code". I know that there were somethings that made it as modules (eg Google sitemap) and some that didn't: I asked some time ago whether anything ever happened to the WebDAV module that was on the list, but never got a reply.
Maybe it would be useful to have a kind of "table of completion" (like for the translations?). I guess that there may be modules which are really useful to the community but which get "orphaned" because the coder can't look after them permanently, or because they are short of completion (but could be completed by somebody).
