[Tcl-gsoc] Tcl/Tk GSoC 2009 mid-term evaluation progress

[Tomasz K. <tk...@da...>]

Hi!

It seems that we only wait for Kevin Kenny TDBC mid-term evaluation (who
procrastinated due to missing access to produced source code). But Kevin
promised to do it soon.

I have received confirmation from other mentors that they've already filled
in the evaluation survey. As I have forgotten to ask if students received
positive evaluation, (???) denotes the situation I have no explicit
confirmation (but I am almost sure that all (???) denotes positive evalution
= pass). So if Kevin will positively evaluate Slawek, probably all our
student will receive mid-term payment.

But IMHO public availability of mid-term results are rather disappointing.
At least please update the pages at wiki.tcl.tk with easy to follow
instruction how to find your work results and then send to tcl-gosc only a
link to it.

I don't really know how to convince you to switch from your private
mentor-students e-mails to using tcl-gsoc mailing list. PLEASE DO SO to
discuss your projects unless you use other better suited mailing list.

It will allow for what you've learned from mentors not to be buried in your
private mailboxes but rather be available to the community.

Don't other mentors share the same opinion with me? If so please force a
change to mentored students or point us to appropriate mailing list (ex.
Andreas have already notified us that Graphs are discussed at SF
Tcllib-devel and are available from Tcllib CVS). I also know that some of
you use Tcl Chat which is great as it is also archived.

Not only as GSoC admin, but also as heavy Tcl user I would like to gain
insight into what is being discussed during your projects.
