-Contributors will also be asked to maintain wiki pages on their on-going projects.
-In the past, e-mail, IRC, and instant messaging have proven popular among contributors and mentors, and contributors participating in the FreeBSD summer program are encouraged to use these and other electronic communication mechanisms to become active in the community.
+We expect project work to be completed in git and require that work to be regularly pushed to a public repository.
