-GSoC website},
-@qq{Google Summer of Code is a global program that offers students
-stipends to write code for open source projects.  Google has worked
-with the open source community to identify and fund exciting projects
-for the upcoming summer.}
+It is a global program run by Google that offers students stipends
+for working on open source software projects during summer vacations.
 
 The LilyPond Team decided that this is an excellent opportunity to find
-new contributors, encourage students already participating in LilyPond
-development to become more involved, and - last but not least - write
-some great code for the benefit of all!
-
-We are participating in GSoC as a part of GNU Project.  See
-@uref{http://www.gnu.org/software/soc-projects/guidelines.html,
-GNU GSoC webpage} for information on how to participate.

+we hope to participate in future editions as well.

-Below is a list of projects suggested for GSoC students.  If you don't
-see a project that suits you, feel free to suggest your own!
-It's also possible to scale down a project if you feel it's too big.
+Below is a list of projects that we suggested for GSoC 2012 students.
+Although the application period is over, we decided to keep this webpage
+online as an inpiration for anyone who is interested in developing LilyPond.
+Some members of the development team are willing to help people who would like
+to tackle these projects.
 
-We require that every student has basic @code{git} knowledge, and
-recommend that everyone applying for projects other than the last one
-have basic music notation knowledge.
+Of course, there are many more things to improve in LilyPond, including
+very small ones.  A full list of all known issues can be found
