Unfortunately project management/tasktracking tools are just so specific to individuals' taste that I don't have a good recommendation (now that I'm no longer working at Fog Creek selling FogBugz). Whatever you use, whether it's Remember The Milk or Trello or cronjobs or a wiki page using https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_Engineering/Project_documentation_howto templates or pump.io or some kind of IRC bot hooked up to three Roombas (one for the student, one for each mentor), it will work better if it suits the temperaments and tastes of everyone in your team. And if you choose to use something other than a wiki page, please do regularly paste some summaries onto a mediawiki.org status page; the project doc HOWTO gives you a bunch of useful functionality there. The GSoC mentors' mailing list probably has opinions on this, I bet. -- Sumana Harihareswara Engineering Community Manager Wikimedia Foundation _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
