Er, by what metric have these students "failed" their projects?
The summer has finished, and it's about time I summarised how we got
on. We had 9 Summer of Code students working for us, and we had a 100%
success rate this year. Woo! Last year we only managed 6 successful
projects out of 10, so that's a major improvement.

I really can't figure out what you're saying, here. AFAICS, we had
significantly *better* results when choosing GSoC projects submitted by
existing Debian contributors. Where are these failures you're talking
about?
