Thanks, Craig. I'm glad you asked, please follow through politely if at 
first you don't get an answer; Carol is very nice but (a) at this point 
in the GSoC timeline she's super busy, and (b) she won't reply to any 
question about rejection that alleges unfairness. So a kind request for 
what we can do in the future to improve our chances might fare well.

We've done well, I think, in 2011 and 2012 (except for the one student 
who failed to deliver) so something about our reporting might have 
failed GSoC's expectations.
