What if you just gave feyeleanor a few of the "manual/text" bug code snippets, let him work on them, and submit them back for review? Start with those, since they are presumably the easiest.

It's not a question of how to do it. No matter how, you still need someone to explain things, review things, work with him, answer questions, bring him up to speed. And that's no matter who it is. The problem is that we don't have the resources for that, if it is not guaranteed that there will be return on investment. And it isn't, no one can guarantee that he won't give up or lose interest.

Back when we had 3 coders, that wasn't as much as an issue. And as enthusiastic as Tim is, I do try to make sure he's not burnt out.
