in the 'edit tasks' menu ( https://helpwanted.apache.org/admin/ ) you can mark any task as done when someone has started working on it, and it'll then disappear from the list of open tasks. > > (I could have missed it.) > > I assume a potential GSoC mini-project could be identified in the title or > short description, with a link to the JIRA place for further details?
