Important: potential new contributors! was Fwd: we need more tasks

[Myriam Schweingruber]

Forwarding this to kde-devel, as we have an urgent need of new tasks for Code-In

Dear KDE developers and contributors,

we have been taken by storm by the Google Code-In students and have
almost run out of suitable tasks. Please all, have a look at your
project and get us some new tasks so we can feed the students.

Important: these students are all potential new contributors as they
work exclusively on KDE during the whole period, they had to choose a
project and stick to it! So please, all, check your documentation,
tutorials, Junior Jobs, etc. and bring us some new tasks!
I will add some bug triaging tasks later today, but that will not be
enough, please all, this is a unique opportunity to get new
contributors on board and have some work done!

Thanks in advance!

Myriam

PS. please come to #kde-soc and/or subscribe to the
kde-soc-mentor at kde.irg list for this occasion
PPS. No translation tasks allowed this year, unfortunately.

I do add new tasks every time a task is closed.

For the other KDE tasks, you might want to ask students to triage
bugs, that is always quite rewarding and takes quite some work off our
shoulders.

Also some Extra Mile bugs might qualify for the coding tasks, as well
as some Junior Jobs. But I leave that up to the projects to decide.

Did I mention Documentation?
Are all your handbooks up-to-date?
Does your project homepage have a Team presentation page?

Git testing and beta testing is also a nice idea *HINT* we are in beta
for KDE SC 4.10! */HINT*

Regards, Myriam
