Hi all,
This is indeed an excellent news that brightens my day. Welcome Sohom Datta!
I totally trust the co-mentors to help him but is there something that we - the community - can do to help?
Cheers, ~nicolas

I hope you are all healthy and safe during these difficult times. I expect that this news might cheer all Wikisource enthusiasts out there!
I am happy to introduce Sohom Datta! He is one of the students that the Wikimedia Foundation has selected for the current round of Google Summer of Code. He is a first year student of Bachelor’s in Computer Science and Engineering. He will be working on creating a widget to easily create pagelists on Wikisource. Sam Wilson (primary mentor) and I (co-mentor) will be mentoring this project.
This project was prioritized because Index creation wizard was one of the highly voted proposals in Community Wishlist Survey 2020, coming at 6th spot, but couldn’t make it to the Top 5. More updates on the next steps related to the Wishlist process will follow shortly.
Further details and progress related to this project can tracked on the related phabricator ticket: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T247157
Feel free to provide any feedback that you might have related to the project on the phabricator ticket. We will be regularly providing updates to the community as well.
P.S. Sohom also contributes to English Wikipedia and English Wikisource in his free time under the username: Sohom data.
Stay Safe! Satdeep
