[Mailman-Developers] GSoC Status Reports for week 1 due, code expected starting June 4th

[Terri Oda]

For those of you who don't keep track, our GSoC students officially 
started coding on May 21st, so today marks their second week (except for 
George, who started early).   I hope you've all gotten settled in and 
are getting down to work!

I've got two things I need from all of the GSoC students:

1. By tomorrow, you need to write a status report telling us all about 
your first week (see more detail below)
2. I want ALL of you to make some sort of commit or merge request to the 
Mailman/Postorius/Hyperkitty repositories by June 4th, so get ready to 
do that!

This first commit to the repository doesn't have to be a big deal.  If 
you don't have any code yet, it's ok if you just check in some directory 
structure you'll be using later and files with nothing but comments 
explaining how they'll be used later.  The idea is to make sure all of 
us know how to get your code into the repositories in a useful way, 
including making sure we all know where to find the appropriate knobs in 
launchpad.

The status report also doesn't have to be huge, but here's what I'd like 
to see:

1.  What did you do in the past week? (May 21-28th)
   * Include links to any code/documentation you've written.  If it's 
not checked in somewhere yet, check it in!

2.  What do you plan to do next week? (May 28-June 4)
   * This can be a bit sketchy, but feel free to dream big!

3.  What, if anything, caused you trouble this week?

4.  Do you have any questions that came up?  (And these can be things 
like "why is this directory here?" or "why is it called Postorius, 
anyhow?" as well as stuff relevant to exactly what you're working on.)

5.  Do you have any other important upcoming plans?  (This includes 
reminding us when you have exams coming up, or you have to go to your 
sister's wedding, or other things that just don't fit under "next week")

Expect to be doing weekly reports for most of the summer -- it's an easy 
way to help give all the mentors and other developers an idea of where 
you are and when you might need help.

Starting next week I may start sending private reminders, but I figured 
I'd start by telling the whole list so they know to be prepared for your 
code commits and to expect status reports starting tomorrow.
