I would encourage the students to use their own blog site in the hope that they continue their Eclipse Passion after the GSoC. In the past these blogs were added to PlanetEclipse.
I agree with Jelena, [soc-dev] should stay to be a orga list about
GSoC, imho.
I also like the idea of blog posts from Lars for progress reports.
So, why not a (wordpress) blog for GSoC projects @ Eclipse? Students
could easily write little blogposts e.g. for their releases or
progress in general.
Maybe not every week, but once a month or for every milestone
they've reached.
Furthermore, with a blog we (meaning the students) could also draw
some attention from "non-gsoc'ers" outside the mailing lists.
And readers could easily filter topics (resp. GSoC projects) they're
interested in with tags. Jelena (or everyone else;) ) on the other
side could subscribe to the whole RSS/Mail-Feed to stay tuned.
Of course, this doesn't / shouldn't prevent students to post their
progress on the project's mailing lists.
Best regards,
Patrick

Jelena,
so, you request students to do some kind of reporting but not
on soc-dev. You also want to be kept in the look in person,
i.e., want to receive email notifications about the reports. Is
that correct?
Reports are fine, but weekly reports on every
project to the list might be too much. But at
least once a month it would be great to get some
progress reports. I expect mentors to be in touch
with their students more closely anyway.

+1 for weekly reports,
maybe not to the whole distribution list but via
email to the mentor would be fine. I encourage
my GSoC students also to blog about there work
every two weeks.
