Hi all -
I agree that involving undergrad students tends to provide some large codebase
experience with little access to the established developer community. However,
no undergrad module is going to succeed in being all things to all people. For
me, getting my students involved in the codebase and making a contribution - no
matter how small - is more important in the beginning than experiencing the
wider community. My students need to do some things for themselves; if they're
really interested they'll find their way to the community like everyone else
does. Making first contact with the code base and making a contribution is one
starting point, but there are of course others. It feels like a horses for
courses kind of thing to me ...
