Having been involved in both GSoC and OPW recruitment, I can share a few comments on this: - I tried creating wishlist bugs against some of my own packages so that the applicants could have easy coding tests (fixing the wishlist bugs) - rather than waiting for the next GSoC or OPW, developers could create such bugs on a regular basis, as ideas come in their mind - it would be useful to be able to tag such bugs so that potential applicants can find them at any time of the year and start involving themselves in the community - projects would then emerge more spontaneously based on the types of bugs the student is attracted to - given the focus is coding (many people have said that programs like OPW and GSoC are not suitable for packaging tasks), it may be useful to set up a separate welcoming team outside the normal front desk and mentors process -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
