Just a rough outline, to be filled out when more info on SoC 2009 is available.

• Status Reports
  • Daily weblog on progress, expected project for the day.
• Write the interface and tests first (?)
  • Before a single line of actual implementation is written, I'd like to see at least the core suite of tests that will demonstrate the functionality, once written. This:
    1. Gives me something to use in gauging the current work as it progresses, so I can verify it's working as claimed
    2. Clearly establishes the scope of the work to be done
    3. Describes the interface you'll be using for your functionality, which I prefer to be worked out and discussed prior to the actual implementation.
