Thanks a lot for the kind words there, I'm glad I could be of help to you an others. Just on the comment about 10x developers (on-list regulars) v.s. 0.1x developers (GSOC students) that you had: I think everyone realizes that getting students to work on git isn't going to result in developers that are instantly productive, especially with the inherent time-boxing of the GSOC project. On a personal note I think it's very pleasing to work with people who are smart but just unfamiliar with the project itself, and in many cases with tooling that some of us "graybeards" have gotten used to. It helps to get a fresh perspective of things. I also think that the main value of a program like GSOC is not the patches anyone comes up with while participating in the project, but to hopefully give what are usually young people hopefully at the the start of a long career in software development a good experience in working with the free software community. I never participated in GSOC myself (it didn't exist at the time), but my first real experience with software development was in trying to participate in public free software projects. I'm really grateful for the patience and mentoring I got from various people at the time, and hope I can do my part to pay that forward. To me that outcome is much more important than the "success" of any given GSOC project, or the patches that result from it.
