we had a great
Google
Code-in contest this year. Of the
28
multimedia-related tasks we had, 23 were closed, thanks
to three very talented students, Danny (unicodesnowman),
Geoffrey (Sn1per) and Mateusz (m4tx). Thanks all for
participating and improving MediaWiki, it was a pleasure to
work with you! I was continuously impressed by the high
quality of the patches.
Thanks Tgr, you've been a fantastic mentor.

Thanks, Tgr !
It would be great if we could include this good news in the upcoming blog post about Google Code-in that’s being planned here on Phabricator:
Gergo, would you like give us a quote about your impression being a mentor and working with young students?
And if you have more time, you might want to briefly describe who the students were, how you coached them and what they accomplished — particularly if it’s a user-facing feature we can invite people to check out, such as the copy-pastable file names.
We should aim to do this in coming days, so we can aim to publish soon after the Google Code-in winners are announced on Feb. 2.
Nicely done!
