Google Code-in 2019 is over. 715 Wikimedia task instances were successfully completed thanks to 194 students and 43 mentors. Thanks everybody!
Google Code-in is a contest to introduce pre-university students (ages 13–17) to the many kinds of contributions that make free and open source software (FOSS) development possible. Students must complete tasks, one at a time. It is sponsored and run by Google. The Wikimedia Foundation has participated since 2013. Read Google's announcement.
The Google Code-in 2019 contest takes place from December 2nd, 2019 to January 23, 2020. Wikimedia's organization admins this year are Andre, Derick, Étienne, Florian, Gopa, Martin.
List of Wikimedia mentors
[edit]Please be patient with mentors. Mentors are humans. They sometimes leave their screens to sleep, work, study. They might be in a different time zone than you. Mentor(s) have up to 36 hours to review the work that you have submitted. Please be patient. Do not ask for a review of your work after only a few hours. Google Code-In is about the quality of your contributions and it is about learning how FOSS development works. It is not about the number of tasks that you complete.
