Hi,

=== Feedback 2011 ===

* We have taken only submissions done before midnight, Sunday, August
14, 2011. No compromises on this.

* Please don't include spaces in filenames on *nix. It comes from
Windows experience. On *nix bash prompt, one will need to escape the
space to access it, like:

  $ cat git\ revision

* The git sources with your source code contain the revision. You
don't need to send a separate file telling us which is the latest
revision.

* Put a README file in your sources giving instructions on how to use your code!

* Give meaningful filenames for your code submissions, not test.tar.gz!

* When we ask you to write unit tests for each function, please write
it! You can use CUnit (for exampl) for C programs, and unittest for
Python.

* Give meaningful git commit messages. Don't use messages like 'its
done', 'done again'. One must be able to see what has been committed
from the meaningful commit message.

* Put copyright, author, license information in your source code.

* Don't send tarballs of uncommitted changes. Either commit them or
discard the changes before sending it.

* Remove backup files from your sources, and don't commit them in your repo.

* Follow coding standards. Remember, code should be like poetry.

* When getting input from user, please do some input validation before
using it in your program.

* Run a spell-check in your documentation.

* Don't commit object files into git!

* Some of you have not submitted your git history as part of your sources.

=== END ===

The following people (in random order) have been selected:

* Kaushik Gandhi
* Koustava Goswami
* Sayan Chowdhury

We will initiate discussions with the selected people regarding
improving their submissions, and project work.

The others, if and only if interested, are welcome to fix their code,
documentation, and resubmit them for review by end of August 2011.

SK
