Dear testers,
the Google Highly Open Participation contest ('GHOP') is going to run
again this year, assuming they can get some help with the Melange app.
---
If you're not familiar with GHOP, it is a contest framework that lets
Google pay students for doing small units of work (coding, testing, doc
writing, etc.) on a wide variety of projects. It was a success for the
PSF last time,
http://code.google.com/opensource/ghop/2007-8/
in that tons of doc changes and test fixes got committed to core, many
other projects benefitted, and most of the people involved had a pretty
good time.
However, BEFORE GHOP CAN RUN AGAIN, we (Google + GHOP enthusiasts) need
help with the Melange application. It's a bit clunky, it hasn't been
used for GHOP before, and it needs some development and a lot of
testing. Since it's written in Python/Django, and I happen to know
there are a lot of good testing tools available for both Python and
Django, I hope the Python community can help out.
What can I do?
