We subscribed and got rejected in both 2008 and 2010. In both cases no reason was presented.

What upsets me is that mono got in....
I can not see any pascal project on the list.

They do give some hints about what they look for in projects and basically they list:

1> They like projects that they themselves use (so expect python and general linux software to always be added)
2> Projects which make a lot of noise (I guess mono comes here)

We are neither used by Google nor we make a lot of noise, so I guess that's why we were rejected.

maybe they're too st00pid or ignorant to understand pascal code? <gd&r>
