I think it's a cool idea, especially considering I'm still kicking myself for not getting involved in open-source earlier. The real problem is deciding what to have them work on. *--* *Tyler Romeo* Stevens Institute of Technology, Class of 2015 Major in Computer Science www.whizkidztech.com | tylerromeo@gmail.com

Last year we decided not to participate in Google Code-In
https://www.google-melange.com/gci/document/show/gci_program/google/gci2012/... , an outreach program to help us get more 13-to-17-year-old contributors. I outlined the reasons here: http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2011-October/055937.html
This year, we are again eligible to apply to participate. I estimate that we'd need about 2 organizational administrators and 21 mentors to do it well. So I've opened signups at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-In and explained what those people would be committing to. If you want us to apply to participate in GCI this winter, please comment on that page by November 1st. Thanks.
