[PD] GSoC Fwd: Thank you for your application

[dmotd]

ahh, too bad.. this is obviously a template rejection notice, do they usually 
follow up this initial rejection with which criteria the organisation missed 
and which parts of the application need to be better addressed?

it may just be the luck of the draw, but we are losing out to projects like 
scummvm - a virtual machine for playing video games from 1987! not that i 
have a problem with maniac mansion as such, but somethings gotta give!

anyhow, good work to those responsible for putting the application together, i 
am sure with a bit of feedback and a little work, we will be a contender for 
next year.

cheers,
dmotd
