[GSoC] Proposal Evaluations

[Kai Blin]

Hi Pjotr,

Excellent idea. I'll set up a document today and share it with the registered mentors.

Cheers,
Kai

PS:  Sorry for the late response, but $WORK decided to force Exchange onto us instead of a proper mail server. Somehow me and that web UI don't get along, and I don't have a native Outlook client on my home OSes.

> and 2 and 1 being bad.).

> In each case when rating a student put in a comment too. Make sure to tell
