I agree, as it helps students to categorize the field they are interested
in.
I created one issue on Android Authenticator. Link:
http://jira.xwiki.org/browse/ANDAUTH-24
But it is not visible on page, as query not showing this one. I added label
and difficulty as Onboarding and Trivial respectively.
Also can't we create above trivial level issues, as there are advance tasks
as well in GCI?
Thanks.

I've added my name and enygma's on the mentors
list.
There are not that many organizations accepted in Code-In, so it would be
great if we could be part of the program.
"Onboarding" as label is good. Other organizations use "starter".
We could also add more labels since GCI have the "user interface",
"qa"
categories, etc.
Maybe some "user interface" / "design" / "ui" label could
be interesting.
WDYT?
Thanks,
Caty

Little change: the label is
"Onboarding" instead of "GCI" to me more
generic and reuse that outside of GCI.

Hi everyone,
Thomas and I would like to try the Google Code-In (GCI) programme this
year (GCI
is for high school students). We’ve been participating to lots of
discussions about it at the GSOC summit 2017 and it seems like it could
bring some interesting things for the XWiki project.
Our goal:
* Participate to GCI
* Kill 2 birds with one stone and create an onboarding programme for
anyone
wanting to contribute to XWiki without any knowledge
Here’s what we’ve done so far:
* We’ve started registering XWiki as an org on
https://codein.withgoogle.com/dashboard/
* We’ve also started creating the GCI pages on
xwiki.org at
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/GoogleCodeIn/
* We’ve started creating GCI issues in XWiki
(reusing existing JIRAs +
creating new ones). The idea is to map our Paper Cuts
ideas we had (
http://dev.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Main/PaperCut) with GCI.
** In practice a GCI issue is a “Trivial” issue,
labelled with “GCI”.
Next immediate steps:
* Finish the application process before the 24th of October. We’ll know
on the
26th of October if we’re selected or not.
* Find at least 10 mentors for the programme.
We’re currently 2. A
mentor doesn't need to be an expert in XWiki at all since
the GCI tasks
need to be super simple with very clear success criteria. So we need the
maximum of mentors. We need to be prepared to handle 10-50 students at all
time participating to XWiki GCI tasks!
** Example of people who could be mentors:
committers, contributors,
QA/testers, XWiki users, ex-GSOC students
* Before the 28th of November have at least 200
tasks defined.
IMPORTANT: The mentors are not assigned to any student and we work as a
pool of
mentors (it’s not like GSOC!). A mentor can handle validating tasks
and answering questions from students at the intensity that they want
(could be as low as doing that for a few tasks only).
Please let us know quickly if you’re willing to be a mentor for GCI!
Thanks
-Vincent
