editGoogle Code-in (selection by Google by Nov. 1; program starts on Nov 18; then it lasts about 7 weeks, until Jan. 6)
- We're going to apply; this is about many many small tasks, each one taking ~2-3 days for a 13-17yo student to complete during their free time
- Programming: only 1 of the 5 areas of this program. An opportunity for other areas: QA, doc, marketing, design
- No critical mass last year
- ECT, QA and Design teams are the only ones concerned at the moment; other teams aren't really prepared for this yet. We may involve them later on during the program, when we/they see progress on other tasks
- Mentors must respond/review tasks within 36h, and ideally within 24h
- < Discussion about QA's involvement in google Code-in >
- Andre: triage-related tasks.
- Guillaume: Can think of 3 tasks at the moment, one is recurring every week so that makes a few more, another one can be reused a few times as well
- Quim suggests: Documentation pages to update (use {{Outdated }} or similar), writing small tutorials (step by step), screencasts, etc. Guillaume will ask the Liaisons team
- Quim: will find community management-related tasks
Other topics:
- pywikipediabot bug day
- ECT Showcase, if there is anything to plan.
- Things Guillaume may have missed that you really want him to know :)
