I need to remind the students that they should report weekly progress(Eg: blog posts on http://gsoc.xwiki.org/ ). Students should also publish their binaries(where possible) at least twice a month so that more people can give a quick feedback. IMO, gsoc projects lack a tool like jira that makes it easier for the student to organize his tasks and for the others to monitor the progress.
