Google Code-In is a contest to introduce pre-university students (ages
13-17) to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software
development possible. Students must complete tasks (see examples), one
at a time. The Google Code-in 2013 contest runs from November 18, 2013
to January 6, 2014.

In theory, this program could be very useful to fix little bugs and
implement little features (or bigger, if we know how to split the
tasks), especially in those mobile projects that don't get the top
priority. I have been told by Google and various organization
participanting in the past that Android development is one of strongest
skills among Code-in participants, with iOS and mobile web development
scoring also pretty well.
What do you think?
We are currently preparing the proposal to apply by Oct 28, next Monday.
If you can add at least 5 tasks to the wiki page linked above then you
will be ready for the next level - if we are one of the organizations
selected on November 1.
If you have questions just ask, here or at the related talk page.
