: My thoughts: We will add more tasks later on, but it is good for now. Yes, we will conduct interviews (IRC or phone, or both). And no, I don't think we should require code submissions in advance. Just a patch. One proposal I had was this: Let's add a buggy unit test, e.g. one which does not compile or produces an error. One idea is to set this task to interested students: Get ScummVM, compile it, runt he tests, identify the buggy one, fix it (let's make it something super-easy), submit that as a patch (with the private bit set, on the tracker). This is a long and ardous thing for a newbie, and I think it will filter out 99% of all bad candidates (and sadly some good ones, too...). --[[User:Fingolfin|Fingolfin]] 22:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Another idea: How about we assign every student a secondary / fallback mentor from the start? --[[User:Fingolfin|Fingolfin]] 22:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
