Sure, I completely agree. Btw, I have suggested 3 interested students
to submit patches to the chosen program at #tux4kids (victortozo,
lvwr, and aang).
Victor already did some patches but I don't think anybody answered his
email so far.

I believe submitting patches is a nice way to demonstrate interest and
programming skills.
