I don't understand what we gain from the _2008? Gain, not sure. Lose, the ability to differentiate between groups. A main purpose of GSoC is to get more coders into more projects. For this reason, all students who stick around Fedora should be in other groups. Their continued presence in "last year's group" should *not* be construed as an ongoing contributor effort. By the end of this Summer, the group is essentially defunct. If that is the only group someone is in, and six months later ... it's still the only group, then they aren't contributing to any coding projects. If they move on to Ambassadors, then they are in another group, are contributing, etc. Does that make sense? For a similar reason, I recommend a generic name. Maybe all interns and summer coders could be in the group. That way we can include the Finnish Summer Code effort into this, and any RHT interns that aren't part of another group (yet.) - Karsten -- Karsten Wade, Sr. Developer Community Mgr.
