Thanks Olly for sharing the figures.<div><br></div><div>Going by the stats, <b>just for fun</b>, comparing Xapian to the general GSoC average, last year out of GSoC's overall 5651 proposals, 1115 were selected, that is, 1 in 5. On the other hand, for Xapian, out of 42 proposals, 4 were selected: 1 in 10. [The stats doesn't involve students submitting multiple proposals and other such details...] </div>
<div><b>Verdict:</b> Its tougher to get into Xapian! </div><div><br></div><div>Also, this year some 6685 proposals were submitted to 180 organizations, averaging 37 proposals per organization. We have 41! <b>Verdict:</b> Xapian's clearly avg+.</div>
<div><br></div><div>I am sure these stats don't matter at all and these comparisons don't mean anything, but still I feel happy whenever I see <b>"avg+"</b> : be it academic performance(very rarely! ;) ) or anywhere else.</div>
