Information for students
This is a collection of possible tasks for the Google Code-in. Please note that you can not claim these tasks from here. Should Geeklog be accepted as a mentoring organization, you will be able to claim tasks from the Code-in homepage, once the contest starts.
For more information, please see the Google Code-in FAQ.
Tasks
Move the FAQ to the wiki
Description: The Geeklog FAQ is hard to maintain in its current state (due to technical issues with the FAQ plugin and the fact that contributions can't be included easily). So the idea is to move all the current FAQ topics to the Geeklog Wiki. Hints: One wiki page per FAQ article. Add a FAQ category. Make sure the formatting, e.g. of sample code, is carried over.
Category: Documentation
Difficulty: easy
Time: a few hours
Possible Mentor: Dirk Haun
Review the FAQ
Description: There are a lot of places in the Geeklog FAQ that still refer to the config.php that was used for configuration in earlier Geeklog versions. Find and rewrite those sections to refer to the Configuration Admin panel instead. Note: Some occurences may still be valid (e.g. when referring to upgrading from an old version) or may need to refer to the siteconfig.php or db-config.php file now instead.
Category: Documentation
Difficulty: easy
Time: 1-2 hours
Possible Mentor: Dirk Haun
Review the installation instructions
Description: Try to install Geeklog following the installation instructions. Make notes of the problems you have understanding these instructions. Suggest a list of improvements.
Category: Documentation
Difficulty: easy
Time: 1-2 hours
Possible Mentor: Dirk Haun
Review the installation instructions
Description: Try to install Geeklog following the installation instructions. Make notes of the problems you run into following these instructions. Check that the troubleshooting section covers these problems. If not, suggest additions.
Category: Documentation
Difficulty: easy
Time: 1-2 hours
Possible Mentor: Dirk Haun
Find a replacement for kses
Description: Geeklog uses kses as its HTML filter. Since kses is no longer supported, we are looking for a replacement. Research other existing HTML filters and evaluate them. Check features such as filtering abilities (HTML tags + attributes, JavaScript, CSS), ability to close unbalanced HTML tags. Also consider dependency on any frameworks / libraries, ongoing support, and a GPLv2-compatible license.
Category: Research
Difficulty: medium
Time: about 8 hours
Possible Mentor: Dirk Haun
Provide a translation for a plugin
Description: Geeklog (i.e. the Geeklog Core) has been translated into more than 20 languages. However, not all of the plugins we ship with Geeklog have been translated to all those languages yet. If you speak one of those languages, provide a missing translation. (To do: make a full list of the missing translations; this should easily account for 20+ tasks)
Category: Translation
Difficulty: medium
Time: about 4-6 hours each
Possible Mentors: preferrably people speaking the language ...
Update a Geeklog (Core) translation
Description: Geeklog (i.e. the Geeklog Core) has been translated into more than 20 languages. However, not all of the Core language files are actively maintained, so some of them are only partially translated. If you speak one of those languages, update one of those translations. (To do: make a full list of the affected translations; this should account for another 10+ tasks)
Category: Translation
Difficulty: medium
Time: about 4-6 hours each
Possible Mentors: preferrably people speaking the language ...
Create a "Invitation to contribute" page
Description: When you click to download OpenOffice.org, you are taken to this page that explains how you can contribute to OOo. Design a similar page for Geeklog.
Category: Outreach
Difficulty: medium
Time: about 4 hours
Possible Mentor: ???
Design a flyer
