Heya folks :)

Google Code-in is a great opportunity to attract new bright young
minds to KDE. We've taken part in the contest 3 times already and I
just filled out our application for the 4th one. (If you have no idea
what I am talking about have a look at
https://www.google-melange.com/gci/homepage/google/gci2013 for more
information.)

Within the next 2 weeks we need to collect tasks for the 13 to 18 year
olds to work on during Code-in. These tasks are the most important
part of our application. Please help find exciting and useful tasks
and submit them via this form:
https://docs.google.com/forms/d/17C81ExuBcgU5_Wkj1Zt035vCxbquhS61Lzob2oX4R8U/viewform

You can see all tasks already submitted here:

And for some inspiration here are the tasks we offered last year:

It would be amazing to see especially previous Code-in and GSoC
students offer tasks here and mentor the next bunch :)  To see what
kind of an impact this program can have check out

Cheers

PS: I am about to head off to Brazil for the next 11 days. In case of
questions I hope Teo, Myriam, Valorie and David will be able to help
as well.
