## Code Review Time!

This month has so far been characterized by an overwhelming amount of repeatedly reviewing pull requests, as well as digging through loads of feedback, especially from @eevee in his [monster post](http://discourse.mapeditor.org/t/feedback-after-a-couple-months-with-tiled/2090). The huge pull request activity is due to the upcoming [Google Summer of Code 2017](http://discourse.mapeditor.org/t/google-summer-of-code-2017/1979) and our acceptance into that program. For the last two weeks I barely had time to code myself, but it’s great to see so much interest from students to contribute to Tiled!
