[Labs-l] Looking for small tasks and mentors for Google Code-In - Got something in mind?

[Andre Klapper]

Wikimedia has applied for taking part in Google Code-in 2016 (a contest
for 13-17 year old students for small tasks taking max. a few hours).
 
Tasks are welcome in the following areas: code, outreach/research,
documentation/training, quality assurance, user interface/design.

Does your documentation need improvements?
There are also many documentation related open Labs tasks:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/rkXBk_QeH_Dn/#R
Could some of those be broken down into small chunks, with clear
criteria what expertise a student would already need?

Or do you have small, self-contained bugs you'd love to get fixed?
Can
you imagine helping a young person fix some of these tasks?

Pick a task you'd like to mentor, add the "Google Code In 2016" project
tag, and add a comment "I will mentor this in #GCI2016". Plus list
yourself on the wiki page under "Contacting Wikimedia mentors".

Take those 10 minutes to find (or update) some Phabricator tasks in
your project(s) that would take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours.

If you have any questions, do not hesitate to ask!
