Frances, thank you for your work and for your final report. I wish you well in your ongoing task ("Finish writing search function for JWBF") and your future endeavors.
I think Frances's internship went pretty well, and I wrote up a case study of why it worked out: http://www.harihareswara.net/sumana/2014/08/13/1 (team of mentors, frequent communication, strong relationship, Frances is great, scope small & cuttable, metacognition). Thanks so much to Tollef Fog Heen, Brad Jorsch, Merlijn van Deen, and everyone else who helped mentor or advise this project.

PS: Good luck with the Growstuff API! I've just signed up, so keep me in the loop about any cool applications you develop. :)
Dan, here's more information on the Growstuff features awaiting funding for Frances to work on them: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/growstuff%E2%80%8B
And I've already pointed one new contributor to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Client_code/Gold_standard -- new folks who know various programming languages can now follow Frances's lead by reading the standard, reviewing existing libraries, and writing evaluations. Which is cool.
best, Sumana Harihareswara
