He said he could establish collaboration in free software projects as part of the syllabus for the students. I could ask them to contribute to Guix. What tasks should I ask them to do? They must collaborate between 80, 120 and 800 hours before graduating, depending on their area of study. There are students of languages too. Perhaps they can add the descriptions to the packages. Maybe editorial contributions to the manual or contributing to the translations. Descriptions could indeed be translated: LANG=fr_FR.utf-8 guix package --show=hello We could also ask them to have a hydra mirror or another server for Guix. It would be nice to have a list of TODO tasks...with knowledge dependencies specified in order to have them done by contributors. I think that easy tasks are a great way to help motivate people to learn more in order to contribute with the harder tasks later. Is there a place where tasks are described?
