 We will provide contributors with a designated place to post their status reports and encourage contributors, mentors, and other community members to review and comment on their work as it progresses. This will be separate from the primary mailing lists because we have found that posting to the primary lists can be quite intimidating. By creating a separate area where expectations are set appropriately and interactions are policed by mentors and administrators we hope to achieve a higher level of participation. Once code reaches a more complete state, we will encourage contributors to seek review on the appropriate lists. We will provide contributors with a designated place to post their status reports and encourage contributors, mentors, and other community members to review and comment on their work as it progresses.

-We also create a personal space about each accepted project on http://wiki.freebsd.org and make blog posts and newsflash entries about the projects. We also solicit individual project updates for our bi-monthly developer status reports, where these projects are reported on in the same document as our other mainstream development projects.+We also create a personal space about each accepted project on the Wiki and make blog posts and newsflash entries about the projects.
