> +easy reviewable that again leads us to:
> +* use of a revision control system like svn
> +* seperation of cosmetic from non cosmetic changes (this is almost entirly
> +  ignored by mentors and students in soc 2006 which might lead to a suprise
> +  when the code will be reviewed at the end before a possible inclusion in
> +  ffmpeg, individual changes where generally not reviewable due to cosmetics)
> +* frequent commits, so that comments can be provided early
>   
+ Screen the students better regarding their commitments during the 
summer and skills.
+ Provide a more detailed and well-thought-through project list.
