Hi Abel,

Assuming by task you mean projects, It is possible for more projects to be added but that is the concern of the GSoC admin in Wikimedia. That shouldn't bother you :). There will probably not be enough projects for all interested students. So my advice to students will be to work hard and be the best per your mentor's judgment, on your project. Many students usually find themselves applying for the same project but only the best proposal(As per the mentor's judgment) is selected for the program.

Just in case you are a student, I will encourage you to apply and spread the word for your classmates to join. If you are not a student, you can still mentor a project.

Hoping I replied to your worry, Have a nice day.

Best regards,

Hi all!

I can't understand, but there are only for projects for GSoC with too many students, will there be other tasks added?

Subject: [Wikitech-l] Google Summer of Code 2018: Call for projects and mentors
To: Wikimedia developers <wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org>, Wikimedia Mailing List <wikimedia-l@lists.wikimedia.org>


Hello everyone,

Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer
of Code 2018!

We already have recruited six project ideas and mentors, but we are looking
for a minimum of *14-15 ideas* more, as Google Summer of Code is a neat
platform to bring new developers :) https://www.mediawiki.org/
wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2018

If you are interested in mentoring a project, but not sure what the roles
and responsibilities of a mentor are like, take a look at our guide:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Mentors. Feel free to
propose your own idea, or help by mentoring one of the below listed,
curated from the possible-tech-projects workboard:

   1. Tools for volunteers to make it easier to improve the Wikispeech
   lexicon https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161310
   2. Notification your file was used https://phabricator.wikimedia.
   org/T77154
   3. Notify users about deletion tags being added to pages they created
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T123866
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T123866>
   4. Implement HTML e-mail support in MediaWiki
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T15303
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T15303>
   5. Implement Internet Archive BookReader in Commons & Wikisource
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154100
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T154100>
   6. Create tool to generate, track and show metrics for Tech News
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91335
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T91335>
   7. Merge proofread text back into Djvu files
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T59807
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T59807>
   8. Allow having an on-wiki ToDo list per user
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T48103
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T48103>
   9. Allow contributors to update their own details in tech metrics
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T60585
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T60585>
   10. Convert WikiLove from jQuery UI to OOUI
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89815
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89815>
   11. Add VisualEditor support to the Quiz extension
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148972
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T148972>
   12. Pywikibot: Implement support for flagged revisions
   https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T57081
   <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T57081>

Sidenote: These are only ideas, and we do not encourage students to pick
them unless we have recruited at least two mentors for a project.

We are also participating in Outreachy Round 16 and funding up to two
projects: https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/wikimedia/. Help us
spread the word about Wikimedia's participation in these programs :)

Cheers,
Srishti
