Just a reminder that GCI begins at 13:00 ET on 1 December. Please try to be available in the Sugar Labs IRC channel to help field questions from the contestants.
Also, please remember that the contestants are youths ages 13-17, here not just to participate but also to learn. Try to be patient with them. Feel free to help them as you would any contributor. At the same time, we expect them to adhere to our community standards and maintain high standards. As far as approving tasks, please consult with one of the admins (Ibiam, Lionel, and me) so that we can maintain a consistent standard. Communication about individual tasks is generally handled inside the proprietary GCI platform, making it inaccessible to non-mentors. But we should encourage the students to use IRC and this list when possible so that the entire community can have a window into the work and discussions. Mentors, please use this email list for our communications about GCI (with the exception of a situation that would compromise the privacy of a contestant). We have 201 tasks published. We can add more as the contest progresses. Mentors and non-mentors, please feel free to make suggestions to this list. If you have any questions, please let Lionel, Ibiam, or me know. regards. -walter -- Walter Bender Sugar Labs http://www.sugarlabs.org <http://www.sugarlabs.org>
