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, one at a time. The Google Code-in 2013 contest runs from November 18, 2013 to January 6, 2014.

Do you have small tasks sitting in your backlogs? For instance (and pointing to the Kiwix project), we have been told that Android applications is an area where a lot of contributions from skilled students are almost granted.
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.

I have tried to gather a few tasks: * Share button, to help happy users to spread the word using chat/email/social networks. * Share this text selection, to allow to share a pre-selected text with friends using chat/email/social networks. * Fullscreen mode, to be able to fully enjoy Wikipedia articles. * Go back to top, an overlay button displayed a the end of any article to be able to quickly come back to it's top. * Add a simply history viewer, to allow in two clicks to travel back to a random article. * Add tabs, to allow to open many articles at the same time.
