-Every year from 2007 to 2015, the program gave us the opportunity to have talented and motivated students working with us. We also love the GSoC mentor summit where we had many opportunities to share our knowledge with mentors from other projects and to learn a lot from them. That's why we wait impatiently, each year, for the announcement of a new GSoC program!
+Every year from 2007 to 2015, the program gave us the opportunity to have talented and motivated students working with us.
+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" or which were specifically prepared for students (like full new engines ports). But also, some students have come up with a new functionality, proposing and finally implementing it. These have been our favorites.
-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 a new functionality, proposing and finally implementing it. These have been our favorites.
+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 that GSoC brings the students in touch with open source and, in our case, brings them in touch with game development.
-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 that GSoC brings the students in touch with open source and, in our case, brings them in touch with game development. We hope these students will add their piece of code to this project, but will also keep on contributing afterwards.
 We didn't manage to convince you last year, and therefore didn't benefit the great contributions of GSoC students. Hopefully this year will be our best GSoC ever!
