Most of the SoC projects have been ignored by the students since the conclusion of the program. Some, such as the Live CD project started by Darko, continue. Darko has kept in touch with the project and his absence was anticipated and is related to his school. He is likely to return. We have recently lost contact with pootypedia's author, and other projects have met similar fates. All is not lost, but it is a little disappointing. I was close to one of the projects, and have been horribly disappointed in its author's actions since the end of the program. We might have had better luck had the Mentors program been alive and well to engage more of the students. Let's make that a guiding thought for the future. -- Patrick "The N-Man" Barnes nman64@xxxxxxxxx http://www.n-man.com/ Have I been helpful? Rate my assistance! http://rate.affero.net/nman64/ --
