If you administer a MediaWiki installation and use it as a conference website when you host conferences and conventions, you might be interested in this suggested summer project:
I seek to work on building a Convention extension as part of the Google Summer of Code project.I have set up a proposal for the same , here is the link http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Chughakshay16/GSOCProposal(2012) . I haven't found a mentor to work with me for this project yet, so if anyone feels the need for this extension just the way I do, please feel free to add the feedback to the proposal page, or reply here. More information regarding this extension can be found here :- http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Chughakshay16/ConventionExtension Thanks , Akshay Chugh (irc - chughakshay16)
No skilled MediaWiki administrators or developers have shown interest in mentoring this project, so right now it's unlikely to progress. If you think you could mentor him this summer, please reply to me and cc him at chughakshay16@gmail.com . Mentoring takes about five hours a week (communication, code review, design help, and so on).
