add your name to the mentors table and start tagging #GCI-2018 tasks.
We'll need MANY mentors and MANY tasks, otherwise we cannot make it.
Google Code-in is an annual contest for 13-17 year old students. It
will take place from Oct23 to Dec13. It's not only about coding:
we also need tasks about design, docs, outreach/research, QA.
Last year, 300 students worked on 760 tasks supported by 51 mentors:

While we wait whether Wikimedia will get accepted, do you have any
translation tasks in mind?
Important: A translation task must not be possible to complete by
machine translation and the mentor must know the language in order to
review a student's work.
Tasks should take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours. Read
