People should be able to use svn now:

  svn co svn+ssh://<user>@svn.debian.org/svn/soc

will check out the entire soc repository, using alioth username
<user>. If you need alioth access to the soc project, please mail the
admins and/or ask for access via the web interface at

  https://alioth.debian.org/projects/soc/

Formally, mentors need to do two detailed reports for Google. For
Debian, we want to see a simple report every week or two. Mail to the
list, a blog post that you point us at, whatever - we just want to see
that things are going OK.
