Next weekend I’ll be in Guangzhou China helping to run the Asia Open
Source Symposium Code Fest. Right now I’m trying to figure out what
to do with the 50 some university students who are supposed to show
up. The idea is to help them learn about how open source works, so
I’ve thought about having them submit patches, plugins and extensions
to a number of open source projects.
With that in mind, I’ve got a short list of extensions I was thinking
of working with students to build over two days. Contenders include:
- Radiant ATOM-PUB implementation
- A “site-members” extension
- Radiant wiki extension
- An extension for adding arbitrary fields to pages (like meta, but
without having to write code)
Any other thoughts?
Any low hanging fruit in the core of radiant I could task some
students with?
No guarentees on how this will work out, but I’d like any feedback you
have.

Wow, what a great idea!
Personally, I would love it if you could work with them on the Comments
extension. I’m deciding whether I want to make my blog with Typo or
Radiant right now. I’d prefer Radiant, but comments are most certainly
necessary for full blog functionality.

Yeah, I’ve thought about that one too. We’ll see what the students
want to do.

What about some kind of of statistics extension? It would be very useful
to display the Most Popular pages (or articles) in the sidebar. And, if
you and the students work on a comments extension, it would also be
useful to know the Most Commented pages.

This one sounds really helpful to me.

Well, this is the one we’re working on. We’ll see what we have
tomorrow.
Definitely learned some lessons today.
Very cool! I’m interested to learn how the whole process went for you
and your students.

I also tried to get a group working on fixing the comment plugin, but
it was a little too tricky I think.
