BRL-CAD strongly adhere's to a UNIX design philosophy. Moreover, most of BRL-CAD was written with UNIX / POSIX in mind due to that design philosophy, but we certainly cater to other environments where it's feasible to do so. The Benchmark is being translated but that will not likely be ready before coding begins. >> Any days you do not log are assumed to be days you did not work.

The one thing about any measured rule like this is that there is always some percentage that will only do the bare minimum after they're fully distracted by other activities halfway through GSoC. If you're busy working, you will have absolutely nothing to worry about. You're only expected to work a "full time" roughly 40+ hours a week schedule. That can generally be sustainably spread over anywhere from 4 to 7 days a week, so there shouldn't be more than three consecutive days without logged activity. The day of the week really doesn't matter. Good developers usually don't care either. You should be coding because you love what you're doing. If something is coming up that will keep you from coding, let your mentor know. Cheers!
