[Soc-2017-dev] Weekly Report #06 - Package Manager

[Ton Roosendaal]

Hi,

> I'm sending daily reports to Dr. Sybren and Mitchell (and have been). 

Please stop using private mails to discuss code or review work. We have enough public channels to do that.
If it feels like flooding and spam here, we can ask you do it on the developer site (add a review issue).

> I'm in UTC-7 which means #blendercoders is pretty dead during daylight 

Get out of your bed early. If you are online at 9 your time, it's still 16h in central Europe. Further, Mitchell is in your timezone. 

> I spent quite a bit of time and still didn't make appreciable progress

You cannot spend time on something without having done something. Progress is not a requirement. If you spend time on learning something, report on what you learned, If you read a book, write a short summary of it. If you make demo files to test things, show the demo files and report on the tests.
