[psoc-2008] Too quiet in here?

Hi all,

Just a reminder that we all need to be ramping-up rather than 
slacking-off in the next 4 weeks.

I'll assume that the silence means that nobody has any questions and all 
of the students have gotten subscribed to their appropriate mailing 
lists and introduced themselves.  (I know, there are a lot of mailing 
lists, but you should probably all have at least one chosen -- ask here 
if you're not sure which.)

Mentors:  your student has everything they need from you WRT their 
version control and various other toolchain/infrastructure stuff?

We had one question about git and/or self-hosting.  The answer is "use 
whatever works as long as the commits are on a server hosted by someone 
else."  That is: you don't get to unplug your server halfway through to 
hide your shame ;-)  So: gitweb, google code, perl.org, sourceforge, 
berlios or the like please.  Google expects us to deliver "your code" 
at program completion, which might mean that you need your own branch 
(depending on whether your project is new code or not) to make it easy 
to create a nicely-bounded changeset.

Vivek:  when can we expect to start getting into the webapp?

Thanks,
Eric
