Hi devs, As most of you already know, XWiki has been accepted to Google Summer of Code 2016!
We currently have 11 project proposals and 4 mentors (Thomas, Paul, Vincent and myself) [1]. We`re already receiving mails and IRC questions from interested students so don`t hesitate to welcome and help them out! There are 2 weeks [2] before the student application period starts, so if others want to sign up as mentors and/or propose new GSoC projects for the students, please do so on the ideas list [1]. Another thing you can help with is to increase the list of "Trivial" issues that we know about on jira.xwiki.org. You can to set the "Difficulty" field of a jira issues to "Trivial" if you know for a fact that it would be something easy for someone new to XWiki to fix. We`re currently using a JIRA filter [3] to gather all these "Trivial" issues and listing them on the guidelines [4] page to help students discover them more easily. Thanks, Eduard ---------- [1] http://gsoc.xwiki.org [2] https://developers.google.com/open-source/gsoc/timeline [3] http://jira.xwiki.org/issues/?filter=10534 [4] http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleSummerOfCode/Guidelines#HIncreasingyourchancesofbeingacceptedasastudent _______________________________________________ devs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.xwiki.org/mailman/listinfo/devs
