Talk:Google Code-in/2014

Pywikibot
I've compiling a list of tasks which I think would be suitable, by marking them as easy. I'd appreciate a few eyes on the list, to double check they will be fairly straightforward to implement.

Also, the current primer on this page doesnt mention 'compat'/'core', which means the coder is going to be a bit lost wrt many bugs. John Vandenberg (talk) 12:53, 2 November 2014 (UTC)
 * Thank you so much for preparing! You are faster than I am, as I've just sent an email to the Pywikibot mailing list explicitly inviting. :) And feel free to edit Google Code-in 2014 to fix project information, and don't hesitate to ask if you need more info! --AKlapper (WMF) (talk) 13:35, 3 November 2014 (UTC)

Wiki Release Team tasks
The tasks listed don't seem to be good starting points for students wishing to take part in open source development--they're very specifically focused on peripheral, non-coding aspects of open source, and in general don't seem like they would help beginners gain a better understanding of FOSS development. I'm also concerned about the tasks being labelled Wiki Release Team, given its role as a paid contractor. wctaiwan (talk) 22:03, 10 November 2014 (UTC)
