Subject: [Wikitech-l] Wikimedia accepted in Google Code-in 2015 - Bring
your tasks!
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l at lists.wikimedia.org>


Wikimedia is among the 14 organizations in Google Code-in (GCI) 2015!
In Dec & Jan, many young students will want to contribute to Wikimedia.

Will you mentor some tasks? It's easy and fun.

GCI is a great opportunity to let new contributors complete those small
little tasks on your To-Do list! Task areas are: Code, docs/training,
outreach/research, quality assurance, and user interface.

Do your docs on your wiki need some improvements?
Does your template or gadget code needs some updates?
Do you have small and self-contained bugs you'd love to get fixed?
Does your UI have small design issues?
Do your old bugs welcome some testing?

Then become a mentor and enjoy working with a contributor!

Add yourself to the mentor's table on the wiki page, get an invitation
email to register on the contest site, and create tasks (which would
take you 2-3h to complete, or less technical ~30min "beginner tasks")!
Explain the expectations and deliverables in the task. Once the contest
starts on Dec 07, be ready to answer and review contributions quickly.

Thank you!
