Code management
The PHP project uses CVS for tracking it's code. For using php.net's CVS server please check http://php.net/anoncvs.php For getting write access on a repository you can request an account on http://php.net/cvs-php.php - before doing that please check with your mentor to define what kind of access you need for your specific project.
Coding styles
For code written in the C programming language please mind our general standards: http://php.net/reST/php-src/CODING_STANDARDS Projects written in PHP should follow the PEAR Coding Standards: http://pear.php.net/manual/en/standards.php And again: Your specific project might have other standards, please check with your mentor.
Status Updates
At a minimum status updates should be sent every 2 weeks, these should be sent to the appropriate mailing list and cc'd to gsoc@lists.php.net, your mentor may ask for more regular updates.
Exams / Holidays
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.
