One of the problems I perceived with Boost SoC involvement last year is that very few of the projects have come up for review, with the notable exception of Bimap.
Would it be possible to bump SoC projects up the review queue to get feedback while the student is still participating, towards the end of the SoC period?
Perhaps have a special SoC review queue for 'mini-reviews' where the students can present to the wider Boost audience and hopefully be encouraged to continue the work for a more complete review.
In a paper I wrote about the experience with GSoC 06: http://boost.org/more/boost_soc_06_overview.html I propose something similar, informal reviews to be held by the end of the official GSoC period. As you, I think most projects will need to extend well past GSoC deadlines, which is not a bad thing if people know in advance. As I see it, there is no need to bump projects in the review queue, since informal reviews need not interfere with the formal procedure.
This is also a good time to get other people involved who may help bring that work through to final review - I am not sure about Google's policy on shared participation during the SoC period itself.
Work is supposed to be done on an individual basis during GSoC --after that, no further restrictions apply and more people could join the project. Joaquín M López Muñoz Telefónica, Investigación y Desarrollo
