Hello folks, it is time to start thinking of tasks you would like students to do this fall-winter. Remember, these tasks are for teens who are dealing with schoolwork and teen life, so they need to be small enough to be done within a day or two.
In addition, we always need "beginner" tasks, for kids who are working in open source for the first time. Mentoring these can range from frustrating to rewarding, and I urge all of you to think of a few of them. You can schedule your tasks for when you have time to mentor. We'll need tasks not only in coding, but also Documentation / Training, Outreach / Research, Quality Assurance and User Interface.
