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.

PyWikibot could be a great project for this program, under the Wikimedia
umbrella. A relatively isolated environment, Python language, plenty of
little bugs and enhancement requests in Bugzilla, potential for
improvements in documentation and tutorials, a vibrant community
including many potential mentors...
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.
