Hi,

Thanks for the report, PhotArk!

It's great to see activity in PhotArk picking up (it looks like June
saw the second-highest activity per month in project history, behind
only that of May 2010), though I wonder how much of that is due to
GSoC and remains sustainable after the GSoC season ends in a few
weeks. As you mention, that seems like a critical test for the
project.

Agreed. If PhotArk passes that test, I'd love to see a move towards
graduation. Otherwise we'll need to seriously think about retiring the
project after close to 4 years of incubation.

BR,
