During the course of my Summer of Code project, I’ll not only have to write code, I’ll also have to spend some time on reporting the progress of my project. This consists of the following:

• Send to gnome-soc-list a weekly report
• Keep my  portfolio page up-to-date
• Promote my work on my blog

So, I have to maintain a wiki page with all the information about my project. This page should have all the necessary information about my project, for those people that want to know more about it.

The goal of this page is to inform people about my project (the link you give them if they want to know more) and to make sure that all the information about it will still be available after the summer.

A placeholder for each project at GNOME has been made here: Student Projects

My portfolio is here: GNOME Project Mallard online (Sergio Infante Montero)
