I see. Thanks.
I have added one task to the "UI/Design" section at
https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Google_Code-in_2014&diff=125455…
that Jared was kind enough to mentor.
Still we really need 3 more UI/design related task until Sunday (we can
still polish descriptions and expectations/skill requirements until
December 1st when the contest starts).
There are 13 tasks marked with "design" & "easy" keywords in Bugzilla:
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_statu…
Could anybody please take a quick look at that list and tell me
candidates and potential mentors? (Obviously mentoring in a team
decreases the workload for everybody.)
Or could some of the open dependency tickets of
https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32101
("High-density display issues") be good tasks? A generic "pick one
ticket from that list & fix it" task which could be added several times?
I'm happy to copy suitable tasks to the planning wiki page for you!
Thank you for your help to reach out to some new contributors!

I have a bunch of icons in MobileFrontend that are in png format. I
want to move them all to use SVGs as part of the icon standardisation
work Trevor has been leading.
1) Firstly are all of the icons I list below covered by the WikiFont ?
2) Secondly, how can I extract them (looks at Monte :-))
Icons inventory: [all black/grey unless stated]
talk icon
watch icon
watched icon
edit icon
edit icon when locked
home icon (a white house)
random icon (a white dice)
watchlist icon (a white star)
uploads icon (a white cloud with an up arrow)
nearby icon (white pin)
cog icon (in white)
logout icon (standby switch in white)
profile icon (a face with a smile - but maybe this should be a person
to be inline with desktop?)
cancel icon ( a X button that is found in overlays)
upload icon (a picture with a + icon)
upload icon when locked (same as above but locked)
clear icon (a small x which is used in search - should this be
different from the close icon as it currently is the same)
down arrow (used for a collapsed section)
up arrow ( used for open collapsed section)
back icon ( a left arrow)
previous icon ( a left arrow used in photo upload overlay tutorial
and other screens where you slide between them)
next icon (a right arrow used in photo upload overlay tutorial and
other screens where you slide between them)
bytes added icon (a green box with an arrow pointed upwards)
bytes removed icon (a red box with an arrow pointed downwards)
bytes neutral icon ( grey box with right arrow )
anon icon (a white anonymous icon that appears when logged out when
visiting the menu on mobile)
camera icon ( a white camera)
Hi this is Aakash,
I am new to open source and want to contribute to the sugar labs web
development team. I have knowledge and experience in front end web
development and php(beginner). I don,t know where to start. Could you
please help?
Thanks
Team,
I will be preparing a GUI template to help the team's design process
towards a standardized interface smoother. But before I do that, I'd like
to hear what you think will be relevant and helpful to you, it helps me
prioritize what's most helpful now. I'm including some devs in the loop
with this too just to see if they have any input.
If don't know what a Graphical User Interface
<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphical_user_interface> (GUI as in
"goooey") template is, it's a template mainly for designers while designing
products. Think of it like a sticker book where every control, list item,
text are individual stickers, and you put them together with a few given
rules like space, sizes, composition etc. So it's safe to say that I'll be
making some stickers for designers. This GUI template sticker book is
typically presented in file formats that designers usually work with, most
popularly Illustrator .ai, Sketch .sketch, and Photoshop .psd files. But
I'll be starting with either a .sketch or a .ai file.

This etherpad has a few ideas listed <http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/GUI>.
I hope to help us all look and feel like one product soon and make
everyone's life as easy as possible while getting there. Let me know how
this can be integrated into your work better.
Please respond at etherpad <http://etherpad.wikimedia.org/p/GUI> by EOD
