Hi,
Here's a first official task for mentors: please make sure your students
don't miss this email.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013 and
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women/Round_6#Round_6 reflect
now the official list of students and mentors (primary and co-mentor).
Please check that the data is correct and all linked to the appropriate
user profiles.
Anybody interested in any of these projects is encouraged to get CCed in
the corresponding bug reports. There is where you won't miss any update
and also where you can join the effort providing feedback and help. By
default, wikitech-l will be used only for general announcements and big
project milestones.
Following the GSoC calendar, until June 17 we are in the community
bonding period. See the details at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013#Community_bonding_period
If this sounds to you as "not really starting yet" then you are reading
it wrong! There is a checklist for all participants. Some tasks have a
tight deadline (June 1st) and the rest must be completed before June 17.
This is also like a barometer: missing these first deadlines might be a
symptom of other events to come.
The gates are open. Let's go!
