Furthermore, we have a list of self-contained tasks on specific aspects of ScummVM which have not been tackled yet. These tasks will improve the functionality of ScummVM, making them valuable to the ScummVM community. GSoC is a very good opportunity to have these implemented through the incentives the program offers. These tasks also present a good point of entry for new developers to ease themselves in the extensive ScummVM codebase.

Also, Leslie owes Kostas a few smokes from last year; we hope to have a chance to even this out too. ''delete this after having your laugh :-)''

We have participated in the GSoC program last year, in 2007. We had an exciting time during the prep period, had some very good students and some very bad students during the main stretch, and we got some significant results in the end.

We had 7 students and 4 mentors in total. Two of our students have been promoted to active, regular developers in the team (Kari Salminen & David Corrales) after having their respective code contributions integrated in the codebase. One other student's code contributions have also been integrated in the mainline (toolsgui). Two more (mixer & decompiler) have their code still in development to improve it and make it production-ready, either through optimization or extension and better integration. Two students failed to keep up with the schedule and/or produced inadequate code.

Ultimately, aside the valuable contributions the majority of our students achieved, two students failed. In their case, our mentors agree that there wasn't anything more we could do. Their involvement was minimal from the start and that's what we must identify early on, at the application stage.
