Regarding the need for a place where to monitor and report the student's progress, we could have that on devs.xwiki.org as well but (as you suggested) maybe under the GoogleSummerOfCode space. There really is no need for a separate wiki (duplicates users and isolates visibility).
I agree.
So an idea could be to extend the ProjectClass by adding a new TextArea field (i.e. 'progress') where the student and mentor can list milestones and general progress of the student that is 'assigned' to the project. We mark the project's status as 'Selected' and, at the end of the summer, we update the status field to 'Successfully terminated' or 'Failed'. This workflow is suggested by the current design of the ProjectClass, it is only missing a 'progress' field as I`ve just explained.
How would that behave in history comparisons? That seems to be an essential tool. If the diff wouldn't show the diff of the lines of the textarea, then I'd suggest we simply use the page content.
Does the TextArea field offer enough flexibility for reporting the student's progress? Any other fields that might be missing?
I think I'd intend to write the things within the page. paul
