I hope your exam went well.  I know you have one more coming up, but
are you able to spend some time on your GSoC project this week?  If
not, then a brief update would be appreciated as to when you expect to
begin.

Also, please start a blog as per Jordi's request, and post status
updates to it.  Let us know the link when you get it set up.

Please let us know if you have any questions at all.  I think there's
a lot of excitement about this project, and several people willing to
help.

Regards,
Patrick
