(An early heads-up that Google Code-in 2017 has been announced.) GCI is an annual contest for 13-17 year old students. It will take place from Nov28 to Jan17 and is not only about coding tasks.
For some achievements from last round, see https://blog.wikimedia.org/2017/02/03/google-code-in/ For complete info about Google Code-in, check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors While we wait whether Wikimedia will get accepted: * You have small, self-contained bugs you'd like to see fixed? * Your documentation needs specific improvements? * Your user interface has small design issues? * Your Outreachy/Summer of Code project welcomes small tweaks? * You'd enjoy helping someone port your template to Lua? * Your gadget code uses some deprecated API calls? * You have tasks in mind that welcome some research? Also note that "Beginner tasks" (e.g. "Set up Vagrant" etc) and "generic" tasks are very welcome (e.g. "Choose & fix 2 PHP7 issues from the list in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120336 "). Because we will need hundreds of tasks. :) And we also have more than 400 unassigned open 'easy' tasks listed: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/HCyOonSbFn.z/#R Please take a moment to find / update [Phabricator etc.] tasks in your p roject(s) which would take an experienced contributor 2-3 hours. Check https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Mentors and please ask if you have any questions!
