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:

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.
