Yaron, thanks for the update on Sanyam’s stuff. Great to hear that it’s already in the latest versions! I also should mention that Stephen LaPorte has been using his tool to add a lot of articles to WikiSource, so that’s another example where the tool is already being used in production.

One other note: the latest Wikipedia Signpost has a summary of Peter Potrowl’s work: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Wikipedia_Signpost/2010-08-30/Technology_report#Google_Summer_of_Code:_Peter_Potrowl

We’ll link to all of the Signpost summaries from the GSoC 2010 page on mw.org: http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2010

Thanks for this round-up. Per the comment that “there is no guarantee that anything here will get beyond the proof-of-concept stage”, I should note that the project done by Sanyam Goyal, which I mentored, is already being used – code he developed can be found in the latest versions of five extensions: Semantic MediaWiki, Semantic Result Formats, Semantic Forms, Semantic Forms Inputs and Semantic Drilldown.

Thanks and congratulations to all.

Is there any reason that requesting more project slots would not have been as successful?
