Google Code-in/2015/Task suggestions

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.

• "You can contribute without being a coder!"
• "Tasks", GCI FAQ entry
• Example tasks from previous GCI's

Note: Please denote 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/R)

QA tasks in all projects (QA; pos. D/R)

"As a new user, try to do X and let us know what you found confusing or too complicated".

MusicBrainz

Make a (screencast) video explaining how to do X (D/R)

X = add release, add artist, add work, edit release, ...

jira:MBS-8623 (CODE; UI)

Will probably need User:Bitmap or someone to help the student find out where the fix is supposed to be at. #Perl
