Hi,
How are these student projects working out?
Is there anything we can do to help?
(There is no need to identify the students, unless they want to be named
on a public mailing list.)

Have the students tried small patches?
How did they go?

Here's how your students (or you) can find tickets and get help with patches:
>>> Our bug tracker is:

It might be worth reminding your students that replies on IRC can take hours.
Some people are disappointed when they don't get an instant reply.
