As usual, what we hope to gain is valuable code contributions. In previous years, we've had students take up and complete tasks which had been marked as "to-do", but the main developers had no time to implement them. The students took these up as self-contained GSoC projects and realized them. But also, some students have come up with new functionality, proposing and finally implementing it. These have been our favorite. | As usual, what we hope to gain is valuable code contributions.

In addition, we hope to gain new developers for the project. We hope that after their projects, students will stick around and improve them or work on other interesting tasks.

We hope these students will add their piece of code to this project, but will also keep on contributing afterwards. Last year, a student met all those expectations and even managed to exceed them: Einar Johan Trøan Sømåen is still contributing to the project and is even volunteering to be a mentor this year! | |||
