Team Update: XML-RPC (Friday)
We finished our first cycle last week and the implementation of the CRUD functions for Posts (and all Custom Post Types) has been committed to trunk see #18429 for more info.
For our second cycle we decided to focus on CRUD for Taxonomies and Terms taking the patches from GSOC and iterating on them we are using #18438 as the tracker ticker for a single patch to cover all the different methods.
We also decides to put more focus and effort into unit testing this cycle and have started creating some XML-RPC test case for existing/new functionality.
Relevant Tickets: #18438, #18439, #18440, #18441, #18442, #18443, and #18444
Office hours: 5pm-6pm UTC Mon-Fri

He’s talking about GSoC code from last year, but yes I think the plan is to participate again. There will be plenty more info on how to apply as the time gets closer (probably after WordPress is officially accepted to participate).
If you’re looking for ways to increase your chances of getting chosen, I’d recommend trying to tackle some tickets on Trac (http://core.trac.wordpress.org/) so that you can point us to tickets that you’ve worked on. It’s a great way to show your coding chops and also get a feel for how the project/community works.
