In case anyone has forgotten the timeline, here’s what’s left:
July 6 (today!): Mentors and students can begin submitting mid-term evaluations.
July 13: Mid-term evaluations deadline; Google begins issuing mid-term student payments provided passing student survey is on file. Note: WordPress mentors are expected to submit final evaluations no later than July 10, so that we will have time to resolve any issues before the 13th.
Interim Period: Mentors give students a helping hand and guidance on their projects.
August 10: Suggested ‘pencils down’ date. Take a week to scrub code, write tests, improve documentation, etc.
August 17: Firm ‘pencils down’ date. Mentors, students and organization administrators can begin submitting final evaluations to Google.
August 24: Final evaluation deadline; Google begins issuing student and mentoring organization payments provided forms and evaluations are on file.
August 25: Final results of GSoC 2009 announced.
September 3: Students can begin submitting required code samples to Google.
**There is about a month until the pencils down date.**
I should add, don’t use on any installations you really care about just yet. Like I said, it needs to be tested. I doubt any of you were planning on throwing it at your production site just yet, but in case you were, save yourself the trouble and just use it on a test installation for a while first.
