We have applied to Google Code-in and we will know whether we have been accepted or not this Friday. Thank you to all the contributors that have helped so far listing tasks and volunteering as mentors!

We can keep improving https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-In

I am very keen to help the Code-ins.

Very good!

I have posted a quite general task on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-In#Code. Shall I split the
task to smaller ones (similar to the size as annoying_little_bugs) and
define them before 28 October?

Yes, splitting into digestible, self-contained bites is necessary. You can still list those tasks in the Code-in page. It is a good exercise to complete that feature anyway.

I was GSoC 2013 participant and work on [bug 43058] VisualEditor Math.
I think this is a perfect chance for GSoCers. It will help us to
review our work as well as furthering the development.

I fully agree. I pinged most of the GSoC projects in the past days, and I will do it again if we get accepted in this program.

Also, being a GCI mentor right after being a GSoC student must be very exciting. To me it shows a degree of success that the GSoC project delivery alone can't measure.

Thank you Jiabao and Liangent for setting this precedent. I hope you will inspire other former GSoC students to follow.

This was the perfect opportunity to create the long-overdue task list
around tech communications:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Technical_communications/What_you_can_do

Exactly, Google Code-in can be a very good excuse to publish those backlogs of little tasks that most of us have in mind, or even documented, but never find the time to crunch ourselves, or find someone to work on them.

I have also took several tasks that were sitting untouched in my backlog, and they are now under Outreach/Research.
