[Marble-devel] Google Code-in (GCI) 2014

[Dennis Nienhüser]

Hi,

we have a form now to collect tasks:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/1L4w18l1EsOfGfbvjqqhXvg6dHXWhKR55AIGGP4-r9m8/viewform

It's open for about a week and will be used for the KDE application to 
become a GCI organization. Please help adding tasks - either directly or 
by discussing ideas here or in #marble in IRC.

Regards,
Dennis
