I would vote for allowing student work on community infrastructure tasks. Tracker, Wiki, Web site management tools are all outdated and everybody who cares agrees that they've seen a better tools. As long as it's programming, it's allowed by Google. So let's find a good student or two, and outline a few good projects! I do worry that that kind of work is difficult to evaluate, and requires really great communication on both sides...
First we need to compile a list of things to do into one big list. I see the major problem that there is no "dashboard" that gives an overview of available/supported community services and their status. Services that are parts of python.org and those that linked and often used, but not parts.
Status of service is the amount of opened/languishing bugs/enhancements. Some services don't have trackers at all. For example, infrastructure proposals, web site patches is nowhere to track.
Service on a dashboard should be accompanied by contact points info.
Service should list location of primary repository and mirrors.
Feature creep:
- Service can be monitored for online/offline status.
- Service may have maintenance scripts, which community members can see, inspect scheduled times for the next run and results of execution.
- Service may publish stats for further analysis.
After dashboard is ready, it would be nice to unify all Services:
- Add OpenID/Google support
- Add searchable Google Groups mirrors
- Add Google search form to Mailman web interface for hosted groups
- Register services search with Google (see attach)
Then we need to find a contact point - a person who could be most helpful for each service and help other students with other specific tasks. I am not such person for neither service, but I am interested to help push progress forward.
