Hello Althaf,
Yes. i vouch for it. However, i have i'm still in doubt regarding the quality of the code produce by the students. Well, not undermining them, however, before merging the GSoC code with the master, i highly recommend a quality check or defined a quality standard so they can comply with it.
don't worry about that too much. All patches that go into mainline have to pass the eagle eyes of long-term Genode developers.
We cannot expect students to produce product-quality code from day one. But we can try to bring them on the right track. If I understand correctly, this is the actual point of GSoC. Even in the event that we won't use the resulting code as is, the outcome of the student's work (e.g., in the form of a working prototype, or in the form of the realization that a particular approach does not work as expected) would be beneficial for both the student and us.
This is an insight i didn't have. yes you are right. More over, well, this student X might continue to improve the implementation, on later stages.
