 For one thing, we hope to attract new blood -- we hope to gain some new active developers via these projects. While we already have several very active contributors, these are already mostly tied up in specific subprojects and task. New people mean new ideas, new energy, new ways of thinking. So a longer lasting engagement of our student contributors would be our highest hope.
-But regardless of whether this works out or not, we also hope to gain some nice shiny new code providing useful new functionality to our users and developers. Even if the authors don't stick around will this benefit all of the ScummVM community.
+Furthermore, all of our developers work on ScummVM in their spare time. But for certain tasks, it's simply best if you can spend a certain time working on this task more or less exclusively -- i.e. just what we would get via the SoC.

 Lastly, we also believe that we can learn a lot from this whole event in terms of interaction with prospective new team members, how to motivate students to participate in our projects etc., knowledge that may turn out to be very valuable outside of the SoC, too.
