Google Code-in 2014 has started a few hours ago and the first Wikimedia
tasks got claimed and being worked on by students! GCI will run until
January 19. Students are eager and tasks get claimed quickly.
If you have not become a mentor yet:
WE WANT YOU TO BECOME A MENTOR AND ADD MORE TASKS!
* Provide 3 easy Phab tasks in your area that you could mentor
* OR: provide an easy clonable task (a type of task that is
generic and could be repeated many times - for example, Language
Engineering has several GCI tasks to write a help page for one
uncovered input method in ULS and the student has to choose and
mention the one input method s/he's going to work on)
* The tasks must include instructions and point to documentation
* You commit to answer to students' questions and to evaluate
their work within 36 hours (the better your task description the
less questions you get. And no worries, we're there to help you!
)

Don't hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear!
Thank you for giving young contributors the opportunity to learn about
and work on Free and Open Source Software projects!
