Greetings, Documentation Team!

Just wanted to raise to your attention that Google is sponsoring a program to help 13-18 year olds get involved in open source called Google Code-In:http://code.google.com/opensource/gci/2010-11/index.html. The program runs Nov. 22 - January 10, and the past incarnation (GHOP) netted us rockstars such as Jimmy Berry (who wrote the infrastructure for our automated testing bot), Daniel Wehner (who is now a Views co-maintainer), and Charlie Gordon (who has done a bunch of work in core on SimpleTest and D7UX patches).

Google Code-in is a contest sponsored by Google for helping engage 13-18 year old high school students in open source projects. Drupal is applying as a mentoring organization, and in order to do that, we need a list of tasks in eight categories (Code, Documentation, Outreach, Quality Assurance, Research, Training, Translation, and User Interface) lined up for participants to start working on.
