Why is this notable? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 98.207.25.225 (talk) 20:48, 28 March 2008 (UTC)

Why is this not notable? Reading through the article, it doesn't sound that much like an advertisement to me, certainly no more so or even not as much as articles like Microsoft Office or Oracle Rdb. As for having pages for all Summer of Code projects: Firstly, why not? And secondly, the project seems to predate GSoC by about three years so it's more notable than simply a GSoC project. Also I believe that the project leader has presented information on the progress and goals of the project to a number of small minicons around Australia. I don't think this should be put down for deleting, but it should be cleaned up and expanded. Rentrustic (talk) 16:23, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

It's not notable because it's an unfinished project by a small and mostly unknown team. I could find you thousands of projects deserving of time and energy across the internet, but wikipedia isn't supposed to be filled up with the dreams of indie developers. Likewise there are a myriad of quality blogs, webcomics and other projects that have been around for years and have had considerable effort put into them that just don't meet the criteria for inclusion. So again, why is this notable? Show me how it satisfies the criteria. Find coverage of it. The only links in the article are project pages and the site itself and all those are telling me is that this project hasn't borne fruit yet. It's not good enough to say "why is this not notable?", it needs to be demonstrated that it is worth inclusion. 59.167.42.39 (talk) 10:12, 7 May 2008 (UTC)
