[Systems] Google Code-in Tasks (Sysadmin)

[Sam P.]

Hi Samuel,

Those tasks look great!  I did not see anything on the gci site talking
about these kind of tasks.  Maybe we need to ask on irc if we get accepted.

Also, maybe we could add a task for a sugar3/sugar-toolkit-gtk3 docs
rebuilder?

Title:  Sugar3 documentation rebuilder
Category:  Coding
Beginner:  No
Description:

In this cycle, we have introduced api documentation for the sugar3 api.
This documentation is generated using sphinx.

Your task is to create a rebuilder docker container, modeled off our
existing rebuilder [1][2].  It must have the correct dependencies or mocks
installed for the documentation generator to run successfully (sphinx
imports all the modules, which in turn import Gtk, etc.).  The html output
should be placed in a volume accessible on the host.

Thanks,
Sam
