Wikimedia is among the 17 organizations in Google Code-in (GCI) 2016! GCI starts on November 28th. It's a contest for 13-17 year old students working on small tasks and a great opportunity to let new contributors make progress and help with smaller tasks on your To-Do list!
There are currently 8 open Analytics tasks marked as easy: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/rKiAEoHQruRE/#R
What we want you to do:
BECOME A MENTOR:
1. Go to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2016 and add yourself to the mentor's table. 2. Get an invitation email to register on the contest site.
PROVIDE SMALL TASKS:
We want your tasks in the following areas: code, outreach/research, documentation/training, quality assurance, user interface/design.
1. Create a Phabricator task (which would take you 2-3h to complete) or pick an existing Phabricator task you'd mentor. 2. Add the "Google-Code-In-2016" project tag. 3. Add a comment "I will mentor this in #GCI2016".
Looking for task ideas? Check the "easy" tasks in Phabricator: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs offers links.
Make sure to cover expectations and deliverables in your task. And once the contest starts on Nov 28, be ready to answer and review contributions quickly.
Any questions? Just ask, we're happy to help.
Thank you for your help broadening our contributor base! andre
Andre:
I have closed one of those tasks that was outdated. One problem we have with our analytics tasks is that even some of the easy ones require permits to look at data thus they are not that well suited to newcomers.
There are 2 or 3 that should be valid for the code in, though.
Thanks,
Nuria
