There's a thread on the SoC list discussing the results for different projects, which got me curious about, naturally, Inkscape :) I know my projects turned out well, but what about the others? Could the mentors share their experience?

Well, I think the Cairo PDF project went well. But, unfortunately Miklos spent more time working on Cairo than Inkscape. I think that the export works pretty well, but you need all the Cairo patches that Miklos works also.

Ted, not unfortunately at all. This is wonderful progress toward the Cairo renderer.

I have been, and still am, excited about this. Mental and Nathan have been working toward this. It is a worthy goal. Decouple the math from rendering. Decouple the rendering from Inkscape. Pluggability will only make us stronger.

Let me take this further, and say the Miklos deserves an "attaboy" for thinking out of the box and kicking a little bit of ass.

Not a mentor, but thought i should share my experience
Nearing the end of the program I had a working prototype of the whiteboard, work needs done is
applying transform changes implementing layer ordering history rollback muc session establishment
the infrastructure and initial work on these is done, just a matter of sitting down and coding, all in all i think its about 2 weeks work. however as a result of the soc program i am somewhat homeless and unemployed.
I didnt get as much work as I wanted to done, and in hindsight applying for soc was probably a mistake. but once i get my situation sorted out I will be back with on with inkscape

I just want to be clear, I wasn't being critical at all, I would have just loved it if all the time of the project was spent on improving Inkscape :) I think we spent Google's money well, as making PDF better in Cairo is beneficial also.
