That's unfortunate, but at least the Maxima project applied to Google.
For what it's worth, I believe that SciPy was also rejected, so I would
guess from the current SoC mentor list that Google is selecting
organizations that can really reach ordinary people.
Still, this has generated some good ideas for the directions in which
Maxima should move. I also agree with Nicolas, in the sense that I
would like to see Maxima compete with Maple and Mathematica as soon as
possible.
Cheers,
