I have added basic information to the profile, so technically we are "green". All main fields are entered. Application draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1l-sElXZ2Wmd5DkCH_y4YXQbqGQ20KfhvqZMNY65iTgI/edit?usp=sharing But there are some missing ones which are really important:
- Common Task information for students. IMO it should be a page on jenkins.io. Left empty for now - Short instructions or tips to be displayed with every task. May include limited Markdown <https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/help/markdown>. Example: See http://link for information on how to checkout, build, and run the code. Don't forget to join the IRC channel to ask mentors questions. - OR: A URL for a web page that will be linked to from every task in the "Working with Jenkins project" section IMHO we need a jenkins.io landing page for Google Code-In similarly to what has been created for GSoC. Anyway, in the current state Google Code-In is a high-risk project. We need more contributors to make it efficient (task editors, code reviewers) to make it efficient. Any contributions to the issue list will be appreciated, this is the most critical part right now Best regards, Oleg On Fri, Sep 14, 2018 at 2:22 PM Supun Wanniarachchi <[email protected]> wrote: > Hi all, > > As we discussed during the last meeting[1] I have been started to create > Draft Tasks[2].
