If you need an account for wiki.php.net let your mentor know and they'll help you get one up or just ping Scott.

Please use something public, cvs.php.net / github, whatever your mentor and you decide on but this *should* be publicly noted on your wiki page.

Ideally the PHP Project would like updates every 2 weeks, these should be sent to the appropriate mailing list for your project and then CC'd to the gsoc@lists.php.net mailing list. For archiving purposes it would be good to add the status update to the wiki.

A status update should consist of what progress you've made in the past two weeks, any problems you've come across and what you're intending to work on for the next few weeks.

Let your mentor know and ideally document this on the wiki page, especially if you're going to miss a status update. We'd rather know why you weren't working than having to make assumptions.
