Interestingly, I used the feature in real-life last week, and had to think upside-down to type the right "good"/"bad" keywords ;-). > Some of Matthieu's students worked on it a few years ago but didn't finish. Right. There was still quite some work to do, but this is most likely too small for a GSoC project. But that could be a part of it. I'm not sure how google welcomes GSoC projects made of multiple small tasks, but my experience with students is that it's much better than a single (too) big task, and I think that was the general feeling on this list when we discussed it last year. -- Matthieu Moy http://www-verimag.imag.fr/~moy/
