Various small-ish thing that may be good for Google Code-in. Please feel free to add stuff to this page. Take a look at the three links below for inspiration about what kind of things are eligible for being GCI tasks.

Note: Please mark in parentheses which of the categories the task belongs to (multiple can be assigned): coding (CODE); documentation/training (D/T); quality assurance (QA); user interface (UI); or outreach/research (O/R)

General

Create GCI Student landing page (D/T)
QA tasks in all projects (QA; pos. O/R)
"As a new user, try to do X and let us know what you found confusing or too complicated".
Give a presentation to your class about {Meta,Music,Book,Listen,Acoustic,Critique}Brainz (O/R)
Either about the collection of projects, or about a specific project.
Make an infographic explaining how the various *Brainz are connected/related (O/R)
Organise an edit sprint (O/R)
Make a poster for use when organising possible edit sprints (O/R)

MusicBrainz

Make a (screencast) video explaining how to do X (D/T; O/R)
X = add release, add artist, add work, edit release, ...
Create a user with as complete information as possible, report any oddities (QA; O/R?; UI?; beginner)
Fill out at last location, languages, and bio. Preferably also the other information.
Oddities could include: bad translations, errors, something is non-intuitive, ...


Icon-related tickets (designing/displaying) (UI; CODE)
Some of these might involve two different tasks, one to design the icon and one to implement it (in some cases the latter might be a bit too tricky but the former still useful).
  • jira:MBS-8000 - Improve interface icons for better support of higher pixel density displays (UI)
  • jira:MBS-4644 - Indicate which releases have CAA art in listings (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-3491 - Indicators for collection items (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-8625 - Add data quality icons (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-6869 - Show video flag when displaying work recordings (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-6898 - Show video flag when displaying performances (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-7070 - Missing icon (small version) for area, place and work (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-2421 - Small icon near recording / work / release / artist / ... names to distinguish them (depends on 7070 and ideally on the following three) (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-8626 - Add an icon for instruments (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-8627 - Add an icon for events (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-8628 - Add an icon for areas (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-1352 - Different icon for Unknown/Person/Group on Artist pages (UI; CODE)
Sidebar icon updating
  • jira:MBS-8565 - Update the Discogs logo used in the sidebar (UI; CODE)
  • jira:MBS-8574 - Update the Google+ logo used in the sidebar (UI; CODE)

MusicBrainz Picard

Make a (screencast) video explaining how to do X (D/T; O/R)
X = add release, add artist, add work, edit release, ...
jira:PICARD-22 (CODE; UI)
Link to Picard Scripting page under 'File Naming'
jira:PICARD-24 (UI; pos. CODE)
Red/Green indication icons difficult to read for colour blind users
jira:PICARD-114 (CODE; UI)
Link to documention for file naming in preferences
jira:PICARD-226 (CODE; poss. UI)
Automatic clustering
jira:PICARD-692 (CODE; UI)
"Play File" button should be renamed to "Open in Player"
jira:PICARD-717 (CODE; beginner)
Picard default name files script refinement
jira:PICARD-756 (CODE; UI)
MusicBrainz/AcoustID entities should be hyperlinked in Picard

Try importing your entire music library using beets and keep a log of what it got right, what it got wrong, and what was missing from MusicBrainz altogether. (QA)
