Thanks for contacting debian-publicity. I reviewed the news, and there is
apparently one point of disagreement. Most Debian GSoC 08 had issues, so I
removed a part praising most of them. You put back in a part claiming that
most of the projects that weren't abandoned during the summer were very
successful and are already in use. I'm not an expert in any of these fields
and am not familiar with how the projects went, so I'm using the
results from Obey Arthur Liu. I'm compiling below the results for these
projects.
Netconf, a network configuration management system
Not successful
The ultimate Debian database, all things Debian in a SQL database
Successful and already in use
Seems to qualify
Debgraph, a generic infrastructure for the development of packages management
tools
Doesn't seem to be in use
Debian NAS, improve support of Debian on NAS devices
Successful
Seems to qualify
Cran2deb, generate Debian packages from R packages
Successful
Seems to qualify
Mergemaster, interactively merge changes in configuration files
Failure
PAM NSS Debian Installer, improve support of PAM and NSS at install-time
Failure
Jigdo-ivory, a JavaScript Jigdo client
Failure
Aptitude-gtk, usability and GTK+ GUI for the Aptitude package manager
Not in use
Lintian for fuller automated setups
Qualifies
Debexpo, a generic web-based package repository
Doesn't seem to be in use
From these 11 projects, 1 certainly qualifies, 3 seem to qualify, 5 don't
qualify. At best, we have 5 projects qualifying, short of a majority of 6.
I'm removing the part about success. If you put it back, please show which
projects you think qualify.
