Hi devs,
As most of you already know, XWiki has been accepted to Google Summer of
Code 2016!
We currently have 11 project proposals and 4 mentors (Thomas, Paul, Vincent
and myself) [1].
We`re already receiving mails and IRC questions from interested students so
don`t hesitate to welcome and help them out!
There are 2 weeks [2] before the student application period starts, so if
others want to sign up as mentors and/or propose new GSoC projects for the
students, please do so on the ideas list [1].
Another thing you can help with is to increase the list of "Trivial" issues
that we know about on
jira.xwiki.org. You can to set the "Difficulty" field
of a jira issues to "Trivial" if you know for a fact that it would be
something easy for someone new to XWiki to fix. We`re currently using a
JIRA filter [3] to gather all these "Trivial" issues and listing them on
the guidelines [4] page to help students discover them more easily.
Thanks,
Eduard
