Could you imagine mentoring some of these tasks?Unfortunately, I think the VisualEditor world is too complicated at this point to break off simple bugs without a lot more documentation (and this is reflected in the lack of bugs tagged as "easy"). We've talked about writing up a "crash course" to explain how things work, updating https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/VisualEditor/Design/Software_overview and the like, but we're too far from that to be able to commit to GCI for this year, sorry.
Could there be any Template(Data) related tasks that could be worked on by Google Code-In students? For example something like "Fix five Templates from the list at XXXX by doing YYYY"?
I'm happy to help setting up such tasks if somebody volunteers to mentor (more than one mentor means less work for everybody) and if somebody could add some boilerplate text at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014#Common_instructions_for_t...
