It is important to start it well before coding start. If<br>you have any difficulty in establishing such connection, let me<br>know in a private mail. This is valid also for mentors.<br><br>- get in touch with the community around your software project.<br>Let the developers know what you are doing. Find beta testers<br>among them. Ask your mentor to introduce you, if needed.<br><br>- get familiar with all the tools you will need for coding. This<br>includes: version control system, theory behind the algorithm you<br>will implement, building process of your chosen software,<br>documentation guidelines. You need to be ready to start coding in a<br>month (or less, depending on your own timeline)!<br><br>- set up a wiki page on your software's wiki, or a section on your<br>own blog, as soon as possible, where you will post updates about<br>your progress, whenever you want. You will be requested to post a<br>weekly update on this list - but feel free to write more often<br>and in more detail on your blog/wiki.<br><br>- make your Melange proposal public.
