From https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/Lessons_learned#2017 : * AKlapper: Maybe sync what to reply in last tasks before contest ends, to improve retention * RexxS: It's worth asking all mentors to encourage students to continue their engagement with Wikimedia after the event closes. Perhaps having a page on meta specifically targeting GCI students with leads, contacts, suggestions for how they can continue, etc. might be useful as well? * jayvdb: we should be helping the GCI students get connected with their local chapter/usergroup where possible, in order to engage with coding projects that their chapter is working on, or wanting, and may have a higher local impact. The high social impact is something Wikimedia GCI students often indicate made them want to participate with Wikimedia instead of some other org. Local engagement keeps student momentum between GCI, and helps them understand how their developer skills can be used to help the editing community.
