I think Sean raises valid points - that the result is highly dependent on
the particular student, project and mentor involved, and that the actual
required time investment is very significant.
Having said that, it's not all bad certainly. Scikit-learn started as a
GSoC project 10 years ago!

Thanks Sean. You've again been very helpful to put the right tone to
the matters. I stand corrected and have no interest in GSoC anymore.

I have a contrarian opinion on GSoC from experience many years ago in
Mahout. Of 3 students I interacted with, 2 didn't come close to completing
the work they signed up for. I think it's mostly that students are hungry
for the resumé line item, and don't understand the amount of work they're
propos
As someone who did GSoC back in University I think this could be a good
idea if there is enough interest from the PMC & I'd be willing the help
mentor if that is a bottleneck.
