[arch-general] Google Summer of Code 2017

[Cristian Baldi]

Hey everyone,

I also might be interested in doing something for Arch in the next GSoC.

A few days ago I saw some ideas both in the  issue tracker and in the wiki
about remaking Arch's websites (mainly the main page and the wiki) with
Bootstrap4 (or making it responsive) and in general improving the sites as
a whole.

Since I am a web developer (and have experience in managing mediawiki
installations and developing mediawiki skins) I thought I could be very
useful for the whole Arch community and GSoC was a great starting point.

Should I try and find some possible mentors for the project? (Last year I
was a mentor for KDE and know how hard is to find mentors but let's try)

The thing is also that the Arch organization has to reach out to Google and
propose itself for GSoC.
