From Fedora Project Wiki
This page is for putting in ideas and suggestions for how mentors can test to see if a student is qualified to work on a technical project. This was formerly referred to as "a coding test" but may not involve code or a test at all.
Put your idea in a new section.
Instructions:
- Put in any idea that helped you as a mentor determine if a student is ready to work on your project. It could be coding, packaging, writing, or other skills.
- If possible, the test could be a bit of real-world work
- Do not exploit students -- this should be a small bit of work, not a forced contribution.
Fedora packaging/reviewing
This "real work" test is suitable for projects that needs Fedora packaging skills like KDE Netbook spin.
- Select any software you'd like to package and prepare package following Fedora Packaging guidelines
- Select any Fedora package review and do informal one according to Fedora Packaging guidelines
