* Update your projects **source.html** page with new information on how to checkout your code; you can use our [http://www.mozdev.org/source/browse/templates/www/source.html template] as a guide
* Mozdev staff will comment on your bug when the repository is setup. Links on Mozdev's site (such as the project overview page) will be updated automatically. It is your responsiblility to update your project web pages.
