Thank you very much for your suggestions. I will incorporate them in
our ideas page.
Unfortunately, we were unsuccessful this year. (Note to
steve@sxemacs: there's a meeting to explain the selection criteria on
IRC Freenode #gsoc, 4/19 16:00 UTC -- which is 1 am for me and similar
for you, thank you very much Google! :-)
I'm sure a better presentation of our ideas will help, and having gone
through the procedure this year, I'm determined to do a better job
next year. We and SXEmacs should also consider combining efforts,
since for many 21.4 users SXEmacs is the obvious upgrade path from
XEmacs 21.4. Perhaps we could also work with GNU Emacs, but (for me
at least) that will depend on no interference from rms, who has a
habit of hogging resources.
As far as the rejection goes, I know that both Darcs and GNU Mailman
were rejected as organizations, too. So from that point of view we're
in reasonably good company. :-)
Thanks to everybody who volunteered, signed up on Melange, and posted
suggestions!
Please do keep the suggestions coming, and if you know students
(including pre-college, as far as I know) who would be interested in
working with us, encourage them to get in touch with us early.
Thanks again,
Steve
