As you are probably already aware, it's midterm week. For both students and mentors this means there is a survey which needs filling out at: http://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/dashboard/google/gsoc2011 The deadline is 19:00UTC on Friday (2011-07-15), but please don't leave it until the very last minute. As well as Google's survey, we'd like to have a progress meeting on IRC with each student, so we can talk over how things are going, review your timeline and milestones for the second half of the project, and find out what we could do to help you better. We'll talk to you on IRC to find a good time, but meanwhile please have a think about anything you'd like to discuss. Lastly, I wanted to make sure you were each aware of the patch licensing requirements, and agreed to them (which I should have done much earlier on, sorry): http://trac.xapian.org/browser/trunk/xapian-core/HACKING#L1203 That document explains the details, but please ask if you've any questions. Cheers, Olly
