(This is the first monthly report on my new grant, and only covers 2.5 weeks, since I started mid-month).
I spent my time mainly working on several bug reports, applying patches, fixing smokes, and "working" my p5p mailbox etc. None of the fixes are particularly noteworthy.
Over the last month I have averaged 16.1 hours per week.
As of 2013/10/31: since the beginning of the grant:
bq. 2.6 weeks
41.4 total hours
16.1 average hours per week
