Hi, thank you all for taking part in Google Summer of Code. I hope Ivo has joined this list, too. Let's get started with the preparations. If you have problems with setting up your development environment or any other questions, feel free to use this list and/or our IRC channel (#haiku at irc.freenode.net). We'll try to our best to help you. Even Axel will hang out on IRC from now on. :) If you want to discuss a non-coding GSoC problem privately please contact your mentor and "Cc" me. Please read the Getting Started article on our website, just to make sure the basics are in place and you know our coding guidelines, etc.: http://haiku-os.org/documents/dev/haiku_development_getting_started Please register a website account at http://haiku-os.org and tell me your username, so I can give you developer access for our ticket tracker at http://dev.haiku-os.org. It would be nice if you could write short progress reports (they don't even need to be technical) on a blog on our website, so the community can see what happens. You can also write about your general GSoC and Haiku experience. Again, I need your username, so I can give you access rights for blogging. I wish you all good luck and an exciting time at Haiku! Bye, Waldemar Kornewald
