[orion-dev] Potential contributions for UCOSP student

[Cameron Mann <cpmann@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi all,

I'm a participant in the UCOSP (http://ucosp.ca/) program being mentored by Andrew Ross and I was interested in contributing to Orion.  I'll be doing ~8 hours of work per week until early April and I wanted to get some feedback on what could be a feasible contribution.  I've been browsing the bug tracker and found a couple areas that were interesting to me as potential options.

With regards to the last one there it seems like there's a number of tickets related to improving tasks so I'd also be open to any of those or some combination thereof.  Since I'm unfamiliar with the project I'm basically interested in figuring out which of these choices would be reasonable (or most reasonable) for a term project.  I've got a decent amount of experience with Java through school though I have almost none with _javascript_ so I'd have to pick that up as I go.
