Hi all,

As you probably know from the GSoC timeline 
(http://socghop.appspot.com/document/show/gsoc_program/google/gsoc2010/timeline), 
Monday was the suggested 'pencils down' date, and final evaluations are 
due from mentors on the 16th, which is Monday.

If you aren't doing this already, mentors and students should be 
cooperating to tie up loose ends on the project, and prepare it for 
conclusion.

Please note, in general it is more important to leave things in a 
cleaned-up, working state than it is to accomplish every objective of 
the project.  You are working on an open-source project, other people 
are going to have to maintain the things you have done, and it's much 
easier for them to pick up where you left off if things are in a clean 
state.  It should be obvious or at least documented what things are not 
done yet, which tests are passing and which are not, and why.

I hope you all had a fun and productive summer!
