Tahir,

I've extended an invitation through GCI for you to become a mentor for the PostgreSQL 
organization, and have sent an additional email containing information on how to get started 
with contributing to this year's contest. We have one month left to get over a hundred tasks 
uploaded, so that is our current priority!

The PostgreSQL wiki link has the current list of tasks available as well as a full list of other 
mentors in the program for this year, found here: https://wiki.postgresql.org/wiki/GCI_2018

Thank you very much for your interest - we're thrilled to have you be a part of GCI 2018!

Honorable Concern,

I am planning to mentor these ideas IN Google Code-in as these are learning, interesting, informative and doable for young students:

Compare PostgreSQL with another RDBMS:
DB2
MySQL
Oracle
SQLite
MS SQL Server
Sybase

Compare PostgreSQL with a NoSQL Column Database:
Accumulo
Cassandra
Druid
HBase
Vertica

Compare PostgreSQL with a NoSQL Document Database:
Apache CouchDB
ArangoDB
BaseX
Clusterpoint
Couchbase
Cosmos DB
IBM Domino
MarkLogic
MongoDB
OrientDB
Qizx
RethinkDB

Compare PostgreSQL with NoSQL Key-value Database:
Aerospike
Apache Ignite
ArangoDB
Berkeley DB
Couchbase
Dynamo
FairCom c-treeACE
FoundationDB
InfinityDB
MemcacheDB
MUMPS
Oracle NoSQL Database
OrientDB
Redis
Riak
SciDB
SDBM/Flat File dbm
ZooKeeper

Compare PostgreSQL with a NoSQL Graph Database
AllegroGraph
ArangoDB
InfiniteGraph
Apache Giraph
MarkLogic
Neo4J
OrientDB
Virtuoso

Kindly share your precious thoughts and feedback, thanks in anticipation.

Tahir,

Thank you for spending time thinking of task ideas!

We are ideally attempting to think of tasks that could benefit PostgreSQL as a whole either through code, outreach/advocacy, quality assurance, or design based contributions, as that seems to be the trend for other tasks submitted by open source organizations. Additionally, we'd like to avoid comparison style tasks to prevent negative connotations or press around PostgreSQL or competing databases.

As an alternative, could you perhaps write up some tasks around "Performing and Documenting backing up a PostgreSQL instance"? There could be specific unique tasks for each of the backup tools, such as pgBackRest, pg_dump, pg_basebackup, pgBarman, wal-e, and wal-g. I would write up the requirements as being "Write up a 1000 word (minimum) essay" and "include a paragraph explaining in which situation the tool you're working with would be best suited". 

It would most likely fall under the "Research" or "Documentation" categories, for researching and documenting their steps taken.

Following that, you could add in additional unique tasks for similar ideas, such as:
  • "Write up a new user guide for pgBackRest based on a s3 backup architecture."
  • "Compose a cheat sheet for backing up and restoring a PostgreSQL instance using X backup tool."
  • "Create well-designed online graphical resources / cheat sheets for common PostgreSQL operations for the Online Resources page on PostgreSQL.org."
  • "Create a video tutorial explaining how to backup and restore a PostgreSQL instance using X backup tool."
  • "Create a video tutorial explaining how to upgrade a PostgreSQL instance from 9.6 to 10."
Thank you!
