I really really enjoyed my experience this summer, working on kAFS. Going
in, I was pretty sure my skills weren't where they should be for this
project, but I thought I would be able to learn. I learned an enormous
amount, but because of the learning curve, my project didn't reach anywhere
near it's ambitious initial goals.
That said, I do feel that my project accomplished all of the goals of Summer
of Code, in general. That is, community, learning, experience, and
furthering open source. I hope to continue being a part of the OpenAFS/AFS
community, and I plan to continue working on my project, making every
linux/afs user's life a bit easier :-D
I'm not sure what other information people would like, but feel free to ask.

Let me know if there's any way I can help.
