(Note that this should be a great opportunity for the diversity list folk to both lead by example AND to encourage young underrepresented students to get involved with Python, hint.) --- If you're not familiar with GHOP, it is a contest framework that lets Google pay students for doing small units of work (coding, testing, doc writing, etc.) on a wide variety of projects. It was a success for the PSFlast time, http://code.google.com/opensource/ghop/2007-8/ in that tons of doc changes and test fixes got committed to core, many other projects benefitted, and most of the people involved had a pretty good time. However, BEFORE GHOP CAN RUN AGAIN, we (Google + GHOP enthusiasts) need help with the Melange application. It's a bit clunky, it hasn't been used for GHOP before, and it needs some development and a lot of testing. Since it's written in Python/Django, and I happen to know there are a lot of good testing tools available for both Python and Django, I hope the Python community can help out. What can I do? -------------- Forward this message on to people you know. Forward it on or post it publicly, or suggest places for me to post it. Get involved!
