Each participating project identifies a variety of tasks which students can choose to perform. Tasks are not just coding - they can involve documentation, testing, or outreach. These are the categories:
- Code: Writing or refactoring code
- Documentation: Creating and editing documents
- Outreach: Community management and outreach, as well as marketing
- Quality Assurance: Testing and ensuring code is of high quality
- Research: Studying a problem and recommending solutions
- Training: Helping others learn more
- Translation: Localization (adapting code to your region and language)
- User interface: User experience research or user interface design and interaction

The RTEMS Project is planning on applying again this year. We have some new tasks in mind for those students who volunteer. It was an interesting and challenging holiday season for the RTEMS mentors. I know that I personally did a lot of Google Code-In mentoring and task approval using my phone while visiting family. We are looking forward to the opportunity be a part of Google Code-In 2011 and to be challenged by the students.
