Have a student work on your issues for free, and maybe gain new
contributors? Sounds good to me.

If every bioruby gem listed one issue we'd be there :). But let me ask
all active gem writers to mark 5 issues in the way John has done on

  https://github.com/SciRuby/nmatrix/issues?state=open

Should be easy, no? You can even add new issues/tasks.

Send a ping to this list with the URL when you are done. I'll add
10-15 issues myself.

Subject: Important: Google Code-In

Hi all,

Writing from near the Googleplex right now, out at the Summer of Code Mentor
Summit.

There's a great project Google does called the Google Code-In, which aims to
get high school students interested in programming.

Not many orgs apply, and only GSoC orgs are eligible   so we have a reasonably
good chance of being accepted.

What we need, though, is between 100 and 200 bite-sized tasks. THIS MEANS YOU.

Got some piece of software you need for your research that you think might
benefit the community? Post it. Got a change you want in NMatrix, Statsample,
Plotrb, some other project? Post it.

I think we should probably include the BioRuby folks in this too; let's try and
emphasize those projects that benefit all Ruby scientists. But in general, the
more tasks we can come up with, the better.

For an idea of how to set up tasks, check out the NMatrix issue tracker. You
can also look at Google's page:
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/

The deadline is ONE WEEK. I'm working on my dissertation and will still add a
bunch of stuff, so surely you all can find time too. :)

Cheers from Mountain View!
John
