This is definitely new information to me too. I expect that this is what 
you wanted to use the student for - work on your own special project - 
but this is something that GSoC is definitely not meant for. The 
original idea behind this project was a rewrite of run-tests.php, not 
something else. Now I hear that a different project was being worked on 
by the student, and even *this* didn't get anyware. I'm pretty much 
annoyed by this cause of action - we still didn't get any work done on 
run-tests, and the student's time was wasted on doing work for some 
private project.
