2012: 4 students mentored by 5 team members. Each mentor was also the co-mentor of another task.
2012: 4 students mentored by 5 team members. Each mentor was also the co-mentor of another task.


3 students passed, and one failed at mid-term. One student is still actively contributing to the project and volunteered to be a mentor for GSoC 2013 and GSoC 2014, which is really awesome. Based on discussion with other projects and our experience one of the key outcomes from this year was to look at merging student code earlier in the GSoC process and encouraging students to be much closer to mainline development. We modified our processes accordingly for the next year.

=== What will you do to encourage your accepted students to stick with the project after Google Summer of Code concludes? ===
The two previous years, we decided to require the GSoC student code be merged into our Master tree much earlier in the process, if possible. <span style="color:red">Our past experience was telling it should be very motivating for students to directly interact with our main repository and could potentially make some of them stay after the end of GSoC: it seems we were right as 2 students out of 4 are still actively contributing, while a 3rd one is still present from times to times. This is obviously for us a very positive sign and we plan to proceed the same way this year again.</span>

<span style="color:red">This project is a sister project of ScummVM, dealing with 3D Adventure games. We share a lot of common code and developers (and even mentors). </span>
