gsoc-2018

This repository is for tracking TEAMMATES' activities in GSoC 2018. The primary purpose is for the students to update their progress and plan on a weekly basis, and for the mentors to verify/validate those progresses/plans.

The following workflow should be observed:

• Students
  • Submit all updates via PR
    • PR title: Week X Progress Update: Your Name
    • For updating the project plan at any point of time, use Project Plan Update: Your Name instead
  • Work with your mentors to adjust your plan, and communicate any difficulty you faced
• Mentors
  • Verify that all the progress reported by the student is valid
  • Validate the action plan for feasibility; help the student with planning whenever necessary
  • If everything is OK, approve the PR and merge it immediately

Format of progress report:

• Past weeks:
  • Plan: The original plan
    • Tick the items that are achieved
    • Leave the items that are not achieved unticked (do not remove)
    • Do not include any achieved item that is not part of the original plan; they can be claimed for credit under "Works"
  • Works: The concrete works/PRs
    • Merged PRs should be included
    • Important ongoing PRs that is close to merging can also be included
  • Retrospect: Your retrospect on how the week goes, e.g. difficulties faced
• Current and subsequent weeks: List of items to do
