Re: [xwiki-devs] [GSoC] XWiki has been selected as a Google Summer of Code 2018 mentor organization!

Right. So let me rephrase that last part (guidelines page updated as well):

"
...
Another thing you can help with is to increase the list of "Onboarding"
issues that we know about on jira.xwiki.org. You can use the label
"Onboarding" and apply it to jira issues which you know for a fact that
they would be easy to fix by someone new to XWiki. We`ve currently labeled
quite a few issues with the "Onboarding" JIRA label [3] and are listing
them on the guidelines [4] page to help students discover them more easily.

Shouldn’t we change this now that we have the new onboarding process?

We might need to update gsoc.xwiki.org to reflect the new onboarding + the new 
jira issues (labelled onboarding).
