Google Summer of Code is a global program focused on bringing more student developers into open-source software development. Students work with an open-source organization on a 10 week programming project, during their break from school.
The Django umbrella
Wagtail is part of the Django mentor organization. We're very enthusiastic about our collaboration and look forward to an exciting summer. Working on the Wagtail CMS is a Django project idea.
Wagtail project ideas
We have some project ideas and are open to your ideas, suggestions, and interests. Feel free to propose your project idea!
Students are welcome to seek advice from mentors on suitable projects and topics, which should then be submitted to the project issue list with our Google Summer of Code issue template.
Mentors
Wagtail core team members are available to mentor students. We'd like to collaborate with you to make Wagtail even better. Students are welcome to seek advice from mentors on suitable projects and topics.
Students
