Great, thanks for asking! While we're at it, this is a good time to |
| 19 |
briefly mention one aspect of email etiquette. Take a look at how I |
| 20 |
quoted only the parts that are relevant to my reply, instead of the |
| 21 |
whole thing, and how I write my reply immediately after each part. This |
| 22 |
makes it a lot easier for people to follow the details. |

We aren't hosting new blogs; you might want to set one up at |
| 28 |
wordpress.com or one of the many other blog-hosting sites. What we'll do |
| 29 |
is pull your content into a collection with all the other GSoC students, |
| 30 |
and probably a second feed shared with Gentoo developers, so that people |
| 31 |
who want to read about what's happening in Gentoo can follow your work. |
| 32 |
|
| 33 |
Once you get a blog set up, you can file a bug to add your blog to our |
| 34 |
aggregator (Planet). The bug will get assigned to planet@g.o — |
| 35 |
because I don't think you have privileges to assign bugs to specific |
| 36 |
people, you might want to ask your mentor to file it to speed things up. |

No later than the end of the first week of coding. If you're already |
| 41 |
making progress, we'd love to hear from you! |
