Google Code-in 2015 will start today and run for seven weeks: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015 Many young students will make their first contributions to Wikimedia hence there will be lots of questions on IRC and mailing lists.  Your help (and patience) is welcome to answer them and provide a helping hand to an onboarding newcomer. Thanks to all mentors who have registered & provided some tasks! You have not become a mentor yet? Consider it - it's fun! * Think of easy tasks in your area that you could mentor.   Areas are: Code, docs/training, outreach/research, quality   assurance, and user interface. "Easy" means 2-3h to complete for   you, or less technical ~30min "beginner tasks" for onboarding). * OR: provide one easy clonable task (a type of task that is   generic and could be repeated many times by different students. * Note that you commit to answer to students' questions and to   evaluate their work within 36 hours (but the better your task   description the less questions. No worries, we're there to help!) For the full info, please check out https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2015#Mentors.27_corner and don't hesitate to ask questions if something is unclear! Thank you again for giving young contributors the opportunity to learn about and work on Free and Open Source Software projects!
