OSGeo participated in the Google Summer of Code 2012 with 22 projects.

Students and mentors made great work during the summer, and the code is ready for testing and merge with the projects' codebases.

In more detail, here are the accomplishments:

Todo: every student shall write a short paragraph containing:

• one-line description of the project, linked to a longer description in Melange/blog..
• link to the code and instructions how to test it.

This way, we wish to encourage users and developers to test the students' code and suggest further improvement.

Please start writing below, in the appropriate software section (alphabetical order):

Example

Student1
