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=125... 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_st...
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!

Not really.. it's actually more messy than it seems and I think it would be more effort to help someone understand the requirements. :-/

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.
That sounds like a good candidate to become a Google Code-in task?
We already have a stub for creating SVG files from last year at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014#User_Interface:_SVG_Graph... where you could define skill requirements to avoid bad results.
Anybody willing to mentor and spend 10min to quickly add a "generic" task until Sunday (we can polish later until December 1st!) under https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014#Proposed_tasks linking to the appropriate resources and PNG files that a student can choose from?
