Thanks a lot for hanging out on the irc channel and getting the
feedback. I agree with Christian: this is not disappointing at all.

BTW: There was something similar to GSOC by the ESA last year. If this
is happening again, then we could/should apply there, too. Maybe we
can get some more projects/volunteers until then.

Anyway, we should just keep the project ideas page up to date with
projects that we think would make DUNE better. I mean without being
centered around any particular program. This could serve as template
projects for intern and students. Given that we communicate a bit more
about our internal projects, this could prevent us from doing the same
thing in several groups at the same time.
