The one fault you CANNOT make

is lack of communication.

I told all of the students from last year about this and I will rephrase it 
now: lack of communication is the one serious fault that will get you kicked 
off the GSoC programme.

Failing to deliver code is something we can try to understand. Maybe you 
underestimated the effort it would take. Or life got in the way. We can 
understand those issues and, together with you, work on to try and come up 
with a solution.

But we can only do that if you tell us about it. That's why communication is 
extremely important.

I am requiring AT LEAST one email per week from you to your mentor (and 
vice-versa) about your progress. Even if the email is "Busy with exams, no 
coding done this week". Please don't forget it.

[If the other party missed the email for the second week in a row, please 
raise a red flag with your admin]
