It would be useful to think how to connect GCi to our annual goals (programs 7 and 8).

I am not suggesting to make GCi depend on these goals, but I guess there are potential microtasks that could help pushing (if only a little) these goals?

Created https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2016 and Google-Code-In-2016 for the start.
(I'm following https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Admins .)

Want to sort out T146960 a bit more in the next days before announcing more widely in our community.

As the new developer advocate in the Technical Collaboration team, @srishakatux is available to help in Google-Code-In-2016. Andre and Srishti, please figure out the details. If there is a specific task that can be assigned to Srishti as quarterly goal. good. If helping means 101 little things, that is good too.

All subtasks resolved. (T154620: Summarize and document Lessons Learned from GCI 2016 is left to do but that's not part of "organize and coordinate".) Hence also closing this meta task.
Thanks everyone for the last two months!
