GSoC progress

[Gary Martin <ga...@wandisco.com>]

Hi,

I hope the other mentors do not mind my comments but I'm just writing to 
see if I can encourage all our students to discuss their progress a bit 
more here.

For example, I am pleased to have noted that Thimal committed some code 
towards the Dynamic Clientside Features branch over the weekend but it 
would be nice to see a brief comment about the commits. One easy way to 
do this if you are subscribed to the commits@bloodhound.apache.org list 
is to reply to the automatically created commit email as the reply-to is 
set to this list.

I believe seeing fairly regular commits and spotting discussion on the 
dev list is a good way for your mentors to stay confident that you are 
making good progress. You shouldn't think that your code needs to be 
perfect before committing code at this point.

Anyway, it is always great to hear what you are working on or are about 
to work on. Also, the sooner you let us know of any problems you are 
having (or anticipating), the better!

Cheers,
     Gary

Thanks Thimal. Your comments look useful to me!

I'm not sure whether it goes without saying but if you do find you make 
lots of smaller commits then I would expect everyone will be more than 
happy with a summary of a number of commits as you just did. Hopefully 
that will save you a bit of time in case you thought I meant an email 
for every small change :)

Cheers,
     Gary
