I think they want to see more polish on the app. I had a brief
conversation with the administrator of GSoC, Leslie Hawthorn:
http://puredata.info/dev/summer-of-code/GoogleSummerOfCodeIdeas/
lh: _hc: you made our short list and i have heard good things about
you. your ideas could have been fleshed out a lot more though
lh: _hc: many ideas did not have any supporting write ups at al.
lh: all even
_hc: lh: yeah, it we should have put more work into it, but you think
the project fits in well with GSoC?
lh: _hc: absolutely, we just need more meat from you next time.
_hc: lh: yeah, we are pretty chaotic, it was an open wiki, so people
just added from the list discussions
_hc: lh: is it best then to only have polished ideas on that page?
lh: _hc: yes, or indicate that some are not well polished
Now that this whole thing is up on puredata.info, it will be much
easier to improve upon the application, rather than starting from
scratch again.

Maybe it's a pecking order thing. After applying two consecutive years we should be in with a much better chance next year (assuming there's some fairness in the review process and history is taken into account)

that's really bad to hear, especially since iem was already getting money last year. do you think there was a problem with last years
projects?Maybe there were too few student-applications last year ...
or maybe supporting pd is useless for google. don't you think they sponsor projects that google can benefit from? maybe next year...
Hm, I don't think so - CLAM and similar other projects are also in.

one chapter is not torn out of the book, but translated into a better
language; and every chapter must be so translated.... -John Donne
