The major changes for GCI 2018

Orgs will evaluate the 20 students completing the most tasks with their org when deciding on finalists and winners
Orgs will choose 6 finalists (instead of 5)
We have renamed the User Interface category to Design
Students will have to wait until Google reviews their Parental Consent form before they can claim their first task. This will slow things down but it is a requirement to be able to continue the program.
No tasks asking for personal information about students will be allowed (this includes tasks asking for students to introduce themselves with info like what country they are from, or photos of the students, etc.).

Please add task ideas in the following areas, followed by mentor name

Code: writing or refactoring
