The smaller big project: get its code deployed on the cluster and
enabled for all wikis!
Quick reminder:
If you think something would be a good project for a student, put it on
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Possible_projects .
I suggest we scope these proposals at about 6 weeks of coding work to
ensure we dedicate enough time (out of the 3-month GSoC period) to
bugfixing and code review. Past proposals often allotted either no time
or about 2 weeks for merging with trunk, pre-deploy code review, and
integration. That's not enough.
Basically, if you think a project might take about 2 weeks for you to
code, go ahead and put it on that list. Students run into lots of
problems, and your 2-week project is someone else's whole summer.
