NB: can be any language, not just Rails Will be a team of people, rather than one.

Tasks:

Check: has at least one open-source license (dual, OS/commercial licenses are usually ok but will be looked at on a case-by-case basis) (we will need to add the name of our license in the “license” field)

Query: who will be Primary Mentor?

Write: "features and tasks: outline how you image the students to contribute, features you’re planning to work on, issues that need help."

Write: "describe skills and experience students should bring to work on the project, e.g.

• Provide a small example or coding challenge for students to solve upfront.
• Add links to online courses or katas students should be confident with.
• Frame possible features students could work on. …or just ask the students to contact you for this."
  Is this 'suitable for beginners' - if so, check the box on the form

Choose: "keywords: this can mean a language, like “Python”, framework like “React”, but also specific technologies or concepts"

Is it possible for one repository to appear in two boards (so we could have one board for the SoC project, but the issues/stories would also appear in MyopicVicar or FreeCENmigration?
