[Warszawa-pm] Fwd: [pm_groups] Google Code-in - urgent assistance required

[Zbigniew Łukasiak]

No ja chętnie bym zgłosił Nbloga, albo Plack::Middleware::Auth::Login
do Google Code-in - ale skoro nawet Was nie zainteresowałem tymi
projektami - to studenci też się do nich nie zgłoszą.

> (http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gci2011/gci2011/ideas).  For this we

> It's almost time to submit our application.  But for our application to

> We need help from all sorts of people.  From developers, from designers,
> from technical writers, from managers, from marketers, from QA people
> and testers, from architects, from trainers, from user interface
> specialists and from anyone who can speak more than one language.  And
> if you're reading this and don't fit into any of those categories then
> you undoubtedly have other talents and we probably need you even more.
>
> We need you to visit the ideas page
> (http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gci2011/gci2011/ideas) and read about
> the sort of tasks we need.  Then create a login and add a task.  If you
> can't or don't want to create a login, please mail your task to me at
> paul w pjcj.net
>
> Here are some suggestions for tasks:
>
>  - Develop a new feature.
>  - Port to a new operating system.
>  - Fix a bug.  (Go and check your RT queue.)
>  - Add tests for a feature.
>  - Add tests to improve coverage.  (Take a look at cpancover
>   http://pjcj.sytes.net/cpancover/ )
>  - Add to or improve documentation.
>  - Write a tutorial.
>  - Make a tutorial video.
>  - Make a promotional video.
>  - Add internationalisation (I18N) to a module.
>  - Translate documentation, tutorials or web sites.
>  - Investigate API changes.
>  - Research new ideas. algorithms or libraries.
>  - Compare and contrast modules.
>
> But feel free to let your imagination run wild.  Any task that a young
> student could perform that would be beneficial to the project is fair
> game.
>
> In addition, if you really cannot think of a task to add, but you would
> be willing to act as a mentor please add your name to the ideas page
> (http://wiki.enlightenedperl.org/gci2011/gci2011/ideas) and note any
> areas in which you would be willing to mentor.  In particular we are in
> need of mentors who would be able to assist with translation tasks, so
> if you speak more than one language please add your name and note which
> languages you speak.  We also need mentors who would be happy to work
> with students on bugs in modules where the author is unable to do so.
> But we're very happy to accept all volunteers.  So please either add a
> task or sign up as a mentor.  (Or both.)
>
> But this is getting very urgent.  Our application needs to be on Tuesday
> so please don't delay and sign up today!
>
> Thank you very much for your assistance.  I trust that with your help
> this year's GCI will be even more successful than last year's.
