Of the four GSoC 2008 mentors for the R Project, two decided to pocket the
money and two let it flow through to the R Foundation. Interestingly enough
that was also a clear split by continent (and I mean residency here): the two
from Europe kept it, the two from North Americans passed it on.
I rather not comment on this thread itself. Arthur essentially already said
what needed to be said.
