===== GSoC Summary ===== | |||
* Lessons to take away: | |||
** It is critical that students post patches regularly to Bugzilla, or up to their Github fork, regardless of their quality. This way, the mentor can keep tabs on progress, and the student has a back-up in case disaster strikes. | |||
** It is also important that students are aware of how long ui review and code review takes, and budget that in to their timeline. | |||
