Talk:Outreachy

This is content used during the preparation phase. It might be deleted if it becomes irrelevant.

People we need

 * One organizational administrator (Quim Gil), to be available nearly every day Nov 12-April 16. I would set up our wikipage, do the application paperwork, nag developers and community members to become mentors and provide tasks, and, while the contest is running, making sure that mentors respond quickly. (Preferably two so that we can back each other up during vacations.)
 * Approximately six mentors, each of whom would be available for at least five hours per week November 15-March 30th. Mentors would make and evaluate tasks and mentor students via email and IRC, preferably also via audio or video calls.  Sumana would like for each student to have a main mentor and a backup mentor.

Each of these people will need to agree to:
 * less than a 48 hour turnaround for review of each completed task submitted by a student
 * be consistently friendly and nurturing for every participant

Comments
The "Write an extension for pulling files from a git repository" idea should maybe be clarified. I personally don't understand what the goal of that proposal is, and I imagine that would imply that the target audience of this page (people new to MediaWiki) would have trouble figuring it out too.
