Looking forward to next year, it would be good for us to encourage projects to have a GSoC tag in their ticket tracker to identify issues that would be good candidates for students. The folks at OpenHatch recommend clearly identifying tickets as entry-level, and then, rather than always cleaning up the so-called "low-hanging fruit", leaving them for entry-level people. Such an approach might be employed, say, 3-6 months out from GSoC, to start to identify good student projects. Granted, this leaves things undone, but that's probably ok, if our focus is indeed community over code. -- Rich Bowen rbo...@rcbowen.com :: @rbowen rbo...@apache.org
