* Do you have small, self-contained, "easy" bugs you'd love to get fixed? (Also see https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Annoying_little_bugs ) * Does your documentation need improvements? * Do your old bugs welcome some testing? * Does your user interface have some small design issues? * Do you have some tasks that welcome some research?
Google Code-In (GCI) will take place again in Dec+Jan: a contest for 13-17 year old students to provide small contributions to free software projects. Wikimedia will apply again to take part in GCI. The more tasks we can offer the likelier the changes Wikimedia will get accepted.
Unsure about quality of contributions and effort? Read about tgr's post about Multimedia achievements in GCI 2014: https://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/multimedia/2015-January/001009.html
In short: * Add the project "GCI2015" + a comment to Phabricator tasks you'd mentor. * Tasks are welcome in five areas: Code; Outreach/Research; Documentation/Training; Quality Assurance; User Interface. * Make sure the task description provides pointers to help the student. * Add yourself to the table of mentors on the wikipage. * "Beginner tasks" (<30 min for an experienced contributor) also welcome. * "Generic" tasks also welcome (e.g. "Fix two user interface messages from the "Blocked By" list in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T40638 "). For all information, check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015#Mentors.27_corner
6 "easy" Analytics tasks (are they still valid? are there more?): https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/HtsgCU8lxlhC/#R
Can you imagine providing a helping hand to someone fixing tasks?
Please ask if you have questions!
Thank you! andre
Andre:
I have gone through our backlog and added "GCI2015" and comments to couple tasks that I think are appropriate for GCI, some of the ones marked "easy" are real easy but require, for example, permits to our cluster so they are not well suited for the code in sprint.
There are 3 analytics tasks currently for google code in:

We can add more if someone grabs those
Thanks,

Thanks. Could you also add yourself to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015#Contacting_Wikimedia_ment... please?

Thank you a lot!
More tasks are always welcome - the more the better. There will be *a lot* of students looking for tasks. Anything that's a small, self- contained, non-controversial task is highly welcome!
