[18:23:08] andre__: how many participants do we see from Google Code-In typically? I have a slew of similar tasks in two sets, and I was going to mark them Beginner, but I see that one participant can only do 2 beginner tasks. Do you think setting them as not beginner tasks would be better? [18:26:52] ragesoss: well, Beginner tasks are simple tasks that help completely new students onboard and learn how "things work". Such introductory tasks must take an inexperienced student less than 3 hours to complete and are less technical in nature. [18:26:59] Does that apply to what you have in mind? [18:28:45] andre__: I think so, assuming that 'inexperienced' does not mean zero technical background. For someone who is just learning ruby and knows the basic syntax and the concept of a class (for the first one). [18:29:02] but if that's considered beyond beginner, then I should change it. [18:29:30] ragesoss: so if I knew Ruby, what would I have to do in your task? [18:29:38] Would I have to set up some development environment and test my patch? [18:29:45] yes. [18:29:48] that's nontrivial. [18:29:52] hence not a beginner task anymore [18:29:57] okay, cool. thanks much. [18:30:00] yw :)
