| | 3 | This is the Haiku task brainstorm page for the [https://developers.google.com/open-source/gci/ Google Code-In] contest for 2019. |
| | 4 | As such, some or many of these may not end up being in our final released list of tasks that end up in Google Code-In. '''If you are a student, DO NOT start working on these ahead of time as they are ALL subject to change.''' |

| | 6 | With the 2018 release of Haiku R1Beta1, our aim for this year will be to help bring Haiku closer to Beta 2 release. This will be a good chance for you to see your work end up in a released product! We hope to have a large number of fun tasks this year. Whether this is your first time learning about Haiku, or your second or third time competing in the Code-In, we will have tasks suited to a variety of skill levels. |

| | 35 | \\For Haiku Users and Developers, this is your chance to suggest some task ideas that students would be able to complete in about 2-4 hours of work time spread out over a few days. You can suggest bigger tasks, but they should be ones such that they could be broken down into smaller parts that fit this 2-4 hour timeline. |
