I see. Thanks. I have added one task to the "UI/Design" section at https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Google_Code-in_2014&diff=1254557&oldid=1254446 that Jared was kind enough to mentor.
Still we really need 3 more UI/design related task until Sunday (we can still polish descriptions and expectations/skill requirements until December 1st when the contest starts). There are 13 tasks marked with "design" & "easy" keywords in Bugzilla: https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=REOPENED&keywords=design,easy&keywords_type=allwords&query_format=advanced Could anybody please take a quick look at that list and tell me candidates and potential mentors? (Obviously mentoring in a team decreases the workload for everybody.) Or could some of the open dependency tickets of https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32101 ("High-density display issues") be good tasks? A generic "pick one ticket from that list & fix it" task which could be added several times? I'm happy to copy suitable tasks to the planning wiki page for you! Thank you for your help to reach out to some new contributors! andre On Thu, 2014-11-06 at 19:51 -0800, Jon Robson wrote: > Not really.. it's actually more messy than it seems and I think it > would be more effort to help someone understand the requirements. :-/ > > > On Thu, Nov 6, 2014 at 4:17 AM, Andre Klapper <[email protected]> wrote: > > On Thu, 2014-10-16 at 13:09 -0700, Jon Robson wrote: > >> I have a bunch of icons in MobileFrontend that are in png format.
