2 This document describes how accepted GSoC contributors should document their progress by using the 'progress' field of the project page (the page of the project idea for which the contributor has been accepted). The project page needs to be edited in inline mode.

6 The report should include the initial plan with dated milestones (from the contributor's project proposal - with optional modifications discussed with the mentor and the community), deliverables, etc. with progress report for each item in the initial plan. A suggestion would be to document the progress under each milestone as the contributor advances and mark the completion level of each milestone.
7
8 This field ('progress') should be updated **at least once every 1-2 weeks**. The idea is to have here a summary of all the work done, compared to the work committed to do.
9
10 Of course, if this field is too restrictive, the contributor can feel free to create (and link) to other pages inside the [[GoogleSummerOfCode>>GoogleSummerOfCode.WebHome]] space where they can provide more details on the challenges, difficulties, successes, etc. that they encountered while working on a specific milestone/task.
11
12 The contributor also needs to make sure they include links whenever some item is mentioned, whether it is a section in the design page, an image attachment (mockups, UI screenshots, etc), a version of the project, or a page where more details can be found.
13
14 Finally, the contributor must always discuss on the [[forum (dev category)>>doc:Community.Discuss]] (and optionally on the [[chat>>doc:Community.Chat]]). This progress report does not replace forum/chat communication. On the contrary, it tries to offer a summary to interested parties on how the contributor is progressing and where do they currently stand.
