Greeting,
I want to contribute to wikimedia and for that Outreachy
<https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/> intership program looks perfect fit for
me.
For participating in outreachy internship, I need a project idea that I
will be working on during my internship period. The project idea is to
develop a new extension to make MediaWiki available offline suggested by
bmansurov <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/p/bmansurov/>.
Is their any existing extension or project which implements this project
idea or similar to it?If yes, please provide link to that project.
I'm not sure if bmansurov has anything specific in mind, but generally
speaking, there have been several attempts to do that sort of thing.
The most prominent is Kiwix (
http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Main_Page ). I
imagine they would love to have an outreachy person help them out.
They are separate organization from WMF, so I'm not sure if there's
logistical issues there (But I think they've participated in GSOC in
the past. Qgil would know for sure if there are any issues in regards
to that)
There are other offline things. I believe CScott was doing work
involving printable (pdf) versions of Wikipedia content (
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Offline_content_generator ) . That
might be an area of interest to you.
