Regardless of the fact that I got a positive evaluation things that I have had to push to the sidelines(until after summer of code is done, ie. now) really helped me understand a lot about deadlines and realized that its better to be more proactive when your ahead of schedule than scramble when your behind or something unexpected comes up(as it did with me for this summer of code). I really think all of WordPress's summer of code projects were great, but I thought the work you did was really great and definately set a positive example for me(plus one peice of coding advice you gave me at the beginning really helped alot, so thanks!). Needless to say, I'm sure your evaluation was positive so congrats, your project is was awesome, I hope with continued work now that summer of code is over mine turns out to be half as good!

I think your project is one of the two truly "killer feature" WordPress ones, the other being Mike Grouchy's nested comments. Projects like mine are justly put to the side as a plugin. And speaking of plugins, even if your project isn't good enough to make it into WordPress core, it'll make a great plugin that I certainly see a lot of people downloading. I have a feeling that users are a lot less demanding than the core developers and I think if it must live as an external plugin, it'll still be very popular. About what you could have done better, we're always our worst critics. I'm sure everyone else thinks it's just great (I'm a bit ashamed to admit that I haven't tried it out yet, but I can see myself doing so in the future (after it's properly packed and documented and I don't have my own project and deadlines to attend to), because upgrading is always a bit of a pain).
