The application period for Google Code In 2015 has opened. This is a 
"tiny GSoC" programme for high school students where the tasks set 
might take the student three to five hours each. Stuff like writing 
documentation, improving unit testing, duplicating bug reports, 
making YouTube video tutorials, blogging about or writing an essay 
about getting a Boost development setup ready, even refactoring small 
segments of code if the student is up to it. The important part is 
the shortness of work item, and of course that you review it and give 
constructive feedback.

More detail is at https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/. 
Some example tasks from last year are at 
https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/resources/example-tasks.

Is there any interest from the Boost community in mentoring such high 
school student work? If so, now is the time to say.

Niall
