Pedro, Yes, GSoC and GCI are different.
Also, I don't think it involves adding committers, but it definitely adds work for GCI mentors. In any case, I recommend that you hop onto [email protected] while there is time to find out what is required and whether ASF will be participating. The archive is at the corrected link that Shane provided. I think changing the thread subject is premature narrowing. So be it. - Dennis -----Original Message----- From: Pedro Giffuni [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Friday, October 21, 2011 08:45 To: [email protected] Subject: Documention roadmap (was Re: Google code-in 2011: can we still make it?) Thanks for the links Shane! The first link is for the GSoC though, which is very different. GCI requires a list of tasks of various levels of difficulty. I think this would be a good chance for our documentation guys to put up a detailed documentation roadmap, which would be good to have anyways. I think this would be an excellent option to get fresh eyes into the MW --> CWiki migration. Actually, newcomers would be ideal to identify information that must be part of tutorials.
