Since we are getting close to the Outreachy application deadline and several of us have completed the First Patch Tutorial, is there any more description of what an internship with this project will look like? Have interns worked on coccinelle in the past, and what kind of impact did they have? Two areas that I think could use updates are the website and documentation. If this is a project that will take on future Outreachy applicants, I think it would be very useful to create coccinelle instructions/tutorial for Outreachy. Are these ideas within the scope of the internship? Thanks so much for making this internship possible in the first, I understand its a lot effort on top of everything else that you do! Emily > > > >
