Slightly related only, but very timely. Google Code-in is approaching (the
program where pre-university students complete hundreds of small tasks),
and we are looking for clonable tasks, aka types of tasks that can be
repeated in big quantities.

https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2014

I was wondering whether we could use Google Code-in to increase our unit
testing coverage. I guess there are certain components and areas easier to
to cover than others, and I guess there is DIY documentation that could be
used here, but I have no idea of how feasible and useful this would be.
