So just to clarify, for those of us who are non-mentors, we can treat the gci students just like normal people (by which I mean, if they ask for help, help them. If they submit code review it, etc. I wouldn't have to record or do anything special if I am reviewing code and I just happen to review a patch submitted by a gci student?) -bawolff _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
