It might be good to wait a week to see what projects were
accepted, then compare our current GSoC website to theirs.  What
do they have that we lack?  There are obviously things like
"previous GSoC history", "publicity in general", "usefulness and
appeal to a wide range of users", but what differences are there
on the project websites themselves?

That said, I think that improving our development infrastructure
in general is always a good thing, and there are many ways this
can be improved if/when people want to work on it.
