= About =

This is the GRASS page for [https://wiki.osgeo.org/wiki/Google_Code_In_2017 Google Code-In] 2017. Here we will list task ideas and other information related to the GRASS GCI projects as well as the contest results and contributions by the students.

== What is Google Code-In? ==

Pre-university students ages 13 to 17 are invited to take part in Google Code-in: Our global, online, contest introducing teenagers to the world of open source. With a wide variety of bite-sized tasks, it’s easy for beginners to jump in and get started no matter what skills they have. Mentors from our participating organizations lend a helping hand as participants learn what it’s like to work on an open source project. For more details, see [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/ Google Code-In] main page.

== How does it work? ==

# Students search for a '''task''' that interests them and claim it. They have at least ''three days and up to five'' to complete it.
# The student works on the task, getting guidance from mentors, if needed.
# Once the student has finished, he/she submits the work for review through the contest website.
# Mentors from the organization evaluate the work, provide feedback, and if it's complete, accept it! Otherwise, specific feedback is provided, and the student goes back to step #2!
# Go to step #1 and repeat!

== Tasks ==

The organizations should create a large list of short (3-5 hour) tasks for students to work on. Tasks are categorized as: Code, Documentation/Training, Outreach/Research, Quality Assurance, or User Interface. Some examples of tasks of different categories can be found [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/example-tasks here].

== Details about the tasks and lessons learnt ==

* Translations are not allowed by Google Code In as tasks.

* A strategic plan is needed to generate a pool of tasks doable in 3-5 hours (from beginner to advanced tasks); '''from ~50 up to ~100 tasks!!'''

* A '''large mentor pool''' that can tackle evaluations of about ~ 100 tasks!! Importantly, the revision of tasks should be rather quick, since the students should complete as many tasks as possible to win the contest.
