Hey Tom,

For me I have found that having mentored bugs is really helpful (ie,
Mozilla's bugsahoy). Having some easier bugs with mentors to walk students
thru the process has been invaluable to my students. Additionally having
people who are willing to speak virtually to my classes has given my
students a place to ask question along with the feeling that they are
valued by the community.

Thank you for asking!
Becka
