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 23 open Wikidata tasks marked as easy: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/zH.SGfhpQyC4/#R%C2%A0 (and a good bunch of them is already marked for GCI, thanks!)
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
Hey Andre,
Glad to hear that! Thanks for letting us know about this great news.
I'm interested to mentor for Google Code-in this year. I just added my name over :[Wikimedia Mentors](https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2016#Contacting_Wikimedia_ment...). Please do invite me so that I can mentor Google Code-in this year.
I'll be adding "Google-Code-In-2016" tag very soon.
Looking forward to hear from you.
Regards Amit Kumar Jaiswal

Would "create sets of Anki flash cards from Wikidata queries" be a viable task?

Would "create sets of Anki flash cards from Wikidata queries" be a viable
task?
That sounds like a very motivating task to do and could teach using the API. I wonder what could be a good topic for such flashcards since it would be sad if the outcome would not be useful in an educational context.
