In my opinion Michał has got a very good point regarding potential PR
consequences of us rejecting GSoC work. Of course it can be done, I've
seen my share of student projects of various sort getting binned
immediately after implementation - but more often than not it shows a
lack of of foresight, at best, on behalf of institutions which requested
manpower for such projects. Yes, it is good for you to have eventually
brought this to -dev - but IMHO it really is too late. In the future, I
would STRONGLY advise having a general discussion before having even a
single line of code written.
