kafs was not a "summer project"; it's been part of the Linux kernel for 
some time, and is maintained primarily by David Howells, who I'm sure is 
aware of this list, since he is a registrar.  As I understand it, Wang 
Lei's GSoC projects were related to developing a common user/kernel pioctl 
interface for kafs and OpenAFS and to adding kernel AFSDB support to kafs.
