How was GSoC for you, and your students?
In the past we've done a really poor job of highlighting the successes
of GSoC for the ASF and for the students. One reason for this is that
it takes quite a bit of work to collate all the information and admins
are most busy during the periods when mentors are reaching out (during
proposal phase) and wrapping up (during evaluation phase).
It would be great if mentors, and their students, could help us out by
recording any useful information about successes (and failures if it
can be constructive) on the page at [1] (all committed should have
write access via the CMS).
What we are looking for is things like:
* blog posts
* updates on students engagement beyond GSoC
* identification of ASF success stories (e.g. students that have
become key to the ASF as a whole)
* the benefits of GSoC + TAC support
* statistics that paint a picture
* anything else
Note, this page is not currently prominently linked as it is quite
sparse right now (it is linked from the upcoming board reprot though).
It is only semi-private so keep the information factual and
constructive.

Yeah. It's really odd ... I can see the starting page, click into
subdirs, etc., but I don't see a "mentoring" subdir.
> Can you try adding the [path from /trunk onwards to your URL)
I did that:
https://cms.apache.org/community/wc/browse/mikemccand-voFLne/trunk/content/mentoring/experiences.mdtext
But I get a "Not Found" error. So strange. It's like I'm viewing and
old version of the content from before "mentoring" was published ...

Interesting. When I click the bookmarklet on the experience page I go
to: https://cms.apache.org/community/wc/browse/rgardler-im0SBz/trunk/content/mentoring/experiences.mdtext
I'd expect the first part to be different, but the trunk/content...
part should be the same (NB in checking this I spotted my type on
Lucene and fixed that).
I note that a third person has succesfully edited the page (I
published this, thank you). So I don't think it's a problem with the
CMS. Can you try adding the [path from /trunk onwards to your URL)

Thanks for pulling this together Ross! I agree sharing successes /
lessons learned is a very important part of GSoC.
I'm having trouble editing the page with Apache CMS. (This is my
first time using CMS so this could easily be user error somewhere...).
I installed the CMS bookmarklet, navigated to
http://community.apache.org/mentoring/experiences.html, and then
clicked it (the bookmarklet), but that redirects me to this URL:
https://cms.apache.org/community/wc/browse/mikemccand-voFLne/trunk
(The top-level page for "community" ... and I can't find any
"mentoring" subdir there).
If instead I go to http://lucene.apache.org/core/features.html and
click the bookmarklet, it looks like it's working correctly ...
Not sure what's up but any help would be appreciated!
