To be more precise,

Students who finish a qualification task (code reaches _ffmpeg_ svn) will be
favored over thouse who did not.
Students who submit code for a qualification task but do not pass (that is
their code does no reach ffmpeg svn within time) will still be favored over
students who do not submit anything at all.
Also we will try to consider the complexity of the task as well, some
students did select quite simple qualification tasks while others ended up
with harder ones (due to simple ones being already selected ...)
A half done complex task definitly counts more than a half done simple task.

But the decission will not be just based on qualification tasks; 
availability of mentor, knowledge of C, ability to use a compiler and
email program as well as ability to write half comprehensible english,
certainly will be considered as well as far as we can judge these from
the little bit of communication on the mailinglist.
