I would very much agree with that. There are projects that I have posted multiple years, and nobody ever selects them. I should take that as a hint that they are not appealing to students for whatever reason, and are probably just clogging up the ideas list. I'd make an exception for somebody who wants to substantially rework the proposal in an attempt to make it more appealing, or who has a reason why it is being re-proposed (e.g., we had student interest, but we ended up not selecting it due to running out of slots or something). But those should be the exception. -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
