Hello students and mentors,
I know this is a bit late (back from holidays), but I`d like to
congratulate everybody on a wonderful and productive GSoC.
I hope you all had a great time and also hope to see you (students) taking
care of the wonderful projects that you`ve worked on (and possibly others
too) for the long run.
Also, many thanks to the mentors and everybody else from the community for
getting involved and ensuring yet another successful GSoC for XWiki!
See you around,
Eduard
