This doesn't sound nearly as time-intensive as GSoC, so I guess I would have time to administer it. I certainly can fill out the application. The main early-on thing is to get together a task list, which is supposed to be organized into the following categories: 1. Code: Tasks related to writing or refactoring code 2. Documentation: Tasks related to creating/editing documents 3. Outreach: Tasks related to community management and outreach/marketing 4. Quality Assurance: Tasks related to testing and ensuring code is of high quality 5. Research: Tasks related to studying a problem and recommending solutions 6. Training: Tasks related to helping others learn more 7. Translation: Tasks related to localization 8. User Interface: Tasks related to user experience research or user interface design and interaction The part I'm not quite clear on is how we will get the students' work into our projects. I suspect we would have them send us patches or other file attachments, rather than get them to do commits into a repository. If the task list is set up like GSoC, we can use the Code-In web site as a sort of wiki where members of our team can post to-dos. I suggest that anyone who might want to help please say so on this list, just to get an idea of our participation. Best, David Bruce |
