Several of our mentors and administrators also know each other in person and have physical access to one another, so we can go smack them if they're not participating effectively or should they try to disappear online.

This blog has already shown to be rather effective in making GSoC-specific announcements and for coordinating information amongst the mentors. Once the students get started with their projects, we also plan to use the blog as a centralized information resource for developers to see the latest commits from the students and the status of their project progress. | This year, we have also set up a mentor's blog to help our mentors make announcements more effectively and to provide suggestions for other GSoC projects.
