[Haskell-cafe] GSoC Retrospective

[Dominic Steinitz]

In past years, Gwern did an outstanding job of summarising the GSoC proposals and how well they had done: http://www.gwern.net/Haskell%20Summer%20of%20Code <http://www.gwern.net/Haskell%20Summer%20of%20Code>

Here are the proposals for this year. Perhaps students or their mentors could comment on how successful their projects have been? I realise this is a very poor substitute for Gwen’s analyses but it would better than nothing.
