Re: Google Code-In for GNOME: We Need Tasks!

thanks a lot andre for organizing this!

to all others: i really encourage you to prepare some nice tasks for
your project, as it can only result in a win-win situation: you get a
task done and maybe a new contributor, and the student has a possibility
to gain a lot of expertise.

so, what are you waiting for?
