Qgil triaged this task as Low priority.
Qgil moved this task from Backlog to Ready to Go on the Developer-Advocacy (Oct-Dec-2016) board.
Qgil added a subscriber: srishakatux.

This task is now one of @srishakatux's quarterly goals. The idea is that she will start easy, familiarizing herself with the features requested, the ongoing projects, and the people pushing them.

It is unlikely that there will be time to work on this during this short and intense month. I am taking the liberty to move this task to the next quarter. Let's wait for the results of the new Survey and let's focus on the Summit and Google Code-in now.

@Qgil I've updated the task description. Should this task be closed now? The ones that are open for development, does not seem like a good fit for possible tech projects/ outreach venues.

Yes, I think it is OK to close this task. We need to write down the lessons learned somewhere, but we can do this in the context of T154988.

Lessons learned from T154988 are summarized in a comment here and the same applies to this task as well. Wrapping this up.
