Hello everyone, Just putting out an "all points bulletin" for anyone who might be able to chip in for Google Code-In (formerly GHOP), a sort of "GSoC Jr." for students 13-18. I've had very little time for Tux4Kids in the last couple of weeks, but we managed to get signed up and get a profile created. However, we have no other mentors so far (not that I have done much of anything to spread the word). Tonight I am trying to get our tasks entered into Melange ahead of the start of the program tomorrow. If anyone wants to volunteer, please go to http://www.google-melange.com/gci/org/apply_mentor/google/gci2010 and sign up. As it stands now, I'm thinking we are going to have to back out on participating, unless at least a few folks step forward. It won't look good, but it would be worse to have a bunch of students get started on tasks that I won't be able to keep up with. David |

Hi! I'm sorry for the delay. You know, final exams and this kind of stuff. But I have signed in as a mentor, waiting for the approval. And it seems a good way to get new contributors (and not only coders).

I can help to mentor the factoroids and music tasks. I see that all 5 tasks are being mentored by David. Please, we need more volunteers. 2010/11/22 sasayins <sas...@gm...>: > Greate news!

Hi everyone, Looks like we are in much better shape now with several mentors. One thing I'm not clear on with regard to Melange is whether mentors can create tasks and reassign tasks to different mentors, or whether that has to be done by an admin. Could someone with just mentor status test this out? If Melange lets you do it, feel free to create more tasks or assign tasks to yourself as mentor. Also, if anyone else wants admin status, just let me know. I think we can have multiple admins, and we want to avoid having a single choke point in case I get swamped by my job for several days. Cheers, David |

So we added another admin so now we have three. Also only the admin(s) can approve new tasks or add new tasks. Mentors can suggest new tasks but they won't be public until an admin approves them. Hope this helps. -scottmc |

Yep, it is true. I already made 2 task proposals. This proposals are waiting for admin approval. I think may be Caroline can be a second administrator. 2010/11/22 scott mc <sco...@gm...>: > On Mon, Nov 22, 2010 at 4:01 PM, David Bruce <dav...@gm...> wrote: >> Hi everyone, >> >> Looks like we are in much better shape now with several mentors.

Hi all, I'm back in action for the time being. Applied as a mentor, hopefully it's not too late. Will take a look at the tasks.
