No, is not required to create the page on the OSGeo wiki, as stated in
point 4:  "If you wish to create a wiki page on a platform other that OSGeo
wiki, please link that page from the table."
The students need OSGeo wiki credentials only for adding the link to the
table, for the moment. However this is also a way to encourage them to get
the credentials now, because last year there was a little bit of confusion
at the end of GSoC when the students were asked to fill the wiki page of
results. I had to track down them and send email for months and many of
them hadn't filled it just because had problems interacting with the wiki.
I want to fix potential problems well in advance this year also because we
have many more students.

Thanks,
