If I could give one suggestion to Google for their Summer Of Code,
it would be to try to make blogs for every project and task. That
way, not only can us people who are impatient for all the cool
features that we've heard in some SoC project - e.g. the various
MythTV
projects - can actually find out about them, but hopefully it will
prevent many of the projects dying and disappearing with little to
show afterward.
