This is our second application for GSoC; alas, our first attempt was not succesful. I was not very optimistic about this one neither, and told so to my colleages just yesterday. I’m very happy to turn out to be wrong, and my heartly kudos to those who prepared the ideas page and the formal application; Faik, Gökçen and Pınar are the ones to get much of the credit.

Now we are waiting for the student applications…
