Congratulations everyone. Lots of good names and projects in here. I’m definitely looking forward to your contributions.
Who let nacin in?

Not sure, but it looks like they braced for it by assigning everyone to me.

Yeah, looks like we’re all teaming up on you! I’m guessing it’s because we all expect you to turn out so much code that it’ll take all of us to keep up

Wicked. I was starting to doubt my chances when I heard how many applicants there were…
Did my +10 charisma help the selection?

Congratulations and best wishes to all GSoC students and Mentors.
It would be great if there’s a dedicated space where the community could see progress of projects and inspire more student participation next year
Cheers..

We’ll announce a public blog for the projects and will schedule IRC chats where students can talk about progress.

In the list on http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/program/list_projects/google/gsoc2010, there’s another accepted project listed that deals with WordPress:
Student: Nils Dagsson Moskopp, Project: Support for CC licenses in WordPress, Mentor: Nathan Kinkade
Wondering why it is not on the list. Is is not officially endorsed by wp.org/Jane?

Because thats not a WordPress GSoC project..
..Its a Creative Commons project
Direct link to application: http://socghop.appspot.com/gsoc/student_project/show/google/gsoc2010/creativecommons/t127230757957 (note ‘creativecommons’ in URL refers to the project it falls under)

Something similar happened last year, A student working with CC updated a Drupal CC-related plugin: http://groups.drupal.org/node/25993

Thanks for the clarification, Dion.
I didn’t see that “creativecommons” in the URL and oddly the actual parent project is not mentioned on that application page.
But that makes sense now
