I don't think we failed to attract students ;-)

I remember a number of very good students applying.  I also remember  
Chris Farber who got one of the places
and wrote our first key-value observing implementation as part of  
Google Summer of Code.  That was good.

I guess the main question really is not attracting students, but  
mentoring them. ;-)

Does any of us have enough time to properly follow a student ?

Thanks
