We're just coming up to the start of the 4th week of the coding period,
so it's time we had a progress review meeting on IRC for each project.
These meetings are intended to help the projects go smoothly smoothly,
making sure any problems get addressed sooner rather than later.
Of course that includes issues with the development side of the project,
but please also think about the interactions between students, mentors
and admins. It's easier to overlook that side of the project, yet good
interaction is important for the success of a project. Please have a
think about what others are doing that helps you, what they could be
doing better, etc.
I've create a timezone planner for each project to help us pick a good
time, and added links to the project pages on the wiki (note that these
planners default to UTC - you can set your timezone at the upper right
of the page):

Let's try to get these all done over the coming week.
Obviously the students themselves need to make it, and ideally the
official mentor and one of the admins too. Other mentors or involved
community members are welcome to attend too. Please indicate the
times that are good/possible/bad for you and we'll try to find a
suitable time.
Cheers,
Olly
