We should take advantage of this hackathon request. We should do the same for any opportunity to increase participation! Since there will be 700+ university participants, there may be a variety of different skill sets, but we don't know what they are. Let's make a list of 2 or 3 items, each from a different skill area. Perhaps: * 1 "byte size" code quality issue from the issue tracker * 1 website task * 1 Py3 support task Byte size issue tracker task: Some suggestions were already made but are not a good fit for several reasons. Let's suggest other ones. I'll go first again: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-1722 "svn diff may missreport a revision as the working copy." Website task: Johan suggests the website overhaul and Julian suggests a subtask of that. I think that's a good idea. The task I suggest is to incorporate normalize.css and main.css from html5boilerplate.com and improve the navigation bar to make the static pages mobile friendly. Python 3 support task: I think something Python-related should be on the list. How about https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SVN-2079 "utf8_tests.py should be made non-iso8859-1 specific" Thoughts? Other items we should consider? Nathan
