Wow, seven projects! I'm very happy to hear that you guys got so many! Congrats on that end!
I'm really excited to work with you all and hopefully I will meet some of you at LGM (I'm officially signed up!).
My application can be found on my portfolio web site: http://www.scs.carleton.ca/~gbanaszk/code/soc07/index.htm
I can add this link to the Wiki, but I wanted to see how you guys wanted to do it this year. Should we keep the current list of "ideas" intact and start a separate section for accepted applications, or would you rather just add our names and links to the idea we applied for?

Since the full text of the applications don't seem to be made public by google, could each of you post your proposal either to Inkscape's wiki or your own website, add a link to it from the Inkscape Summer of code wiki page, and report it here? I'm sure everyone is curious. :-)
Thank you to all the students who applied, and congratulations to those whose applications were selected. We will all look forward to working with you over the summer!
