My blog can be viewed at [3]. This will not change even after GSoC. RSS feed
link is there in [3] but can alternatively be viewed here [4]. I've updated
Week 1 with the abstract and timeline.

The bitbucket repository is at [5]. I've also sent you an invitation for the
same.
The repository has a branch named 'ocs' for the project as all the commits
show up in draft phase of mercurial and I would not want to mess up with the
default branch anyhow. Needless to say, 
ocs = https://address@hidden/me_ydv_5/octave 
could be added in .hgrc to facilitate one's pulling/pushing.

I'm fine with mailing lists. May be I can just accumulate a few doubts and
then we can talk about them either here on list or on the IRC channel. I'm
always available on IRC. So you can just drop any message if you feel
something to be conveyed and I'll read the same when I run open my IRC
client.
