Wikimedia's been accepted as a mentoring organization for the 2007 Google Summer of Code program.
Here's our organization page: http://code.google.com/soc/wikimedia/about.html
I put up an initial project list here: http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2007
It's semi-protected so it won't be too vandalized ;) but additional suggestions are welcome. I'd like to ask that people who aren't directly involved in development not add too much to the main page directly, though; last year we ended up with lots of project submissions for things that weren't really considered high priority, so I'd like to keep the list a little more ordered this time.
We don't know for sure how many projects we'll get assigned, so we'll see. :) At least Tim and I will serve as mentors for the student projects; if a couple more experienced developers would like to help out with that too that would be super.
Last year's projects went really well up to the public demo stage but never quite got integrated into the mainline; I'm hoping that this year we can stick with projects that will be easier to slip in and take live much earlier in the process, which should help keep the students interested and the projects active.

Hi Brion,
Just to clarify...does this mean we should or should not add to:
http://meta.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Summer_of_Code_2007/ proposals
Or should we just make suggestions on the email list.
I'd nominate working on the Category page to see if there's a way to precalculate the article and subcategory counts, and to make the navigation of long lists of subcategories and articles more like the All Pages special page. The SplitCategoryPage extension I've posted is undoubtedly not up to the code quality spec of the real developers, doesn't do all of the above, and is sloooow. But it might be a nice project for a mentee to work on a similar functionality with better supervision.
Best,
Jim

Probably great to stick it on the page so everyone's in one place...

That might actually be handy, yes. :)

Now that I have unified user creation/login etc between Drupal CMS and Mediawiki I am looking to bring the two together within a single skin.
Even though they will remain two standalone entities the user will not see this as they will each use identical skins. i.e. switching from one to the other will be seamless
I am looking for someone skilled in Mediawiki skins to create a skin that appears as the image below:
http://www.xoods.net/menumockup.png
There is NO need for any interaction with Drupal at all, that is already done at the database level. All I need is for someone to be able to click on the Mediawiki tab and to be brought to a URL where they see Mediawiki as in the image.
I have a CSS/HTML guy preparing the template in CSS and this can be used if needed.
So, any takers?!
Thanks, Paul
Paul,
I'm interested in how you unified Drupal and Mediawiki user creation and login.

There is a Drupal 4.6 module called AuthDrupal which I have been testing with a 5.1 install. It has a couple of minor bugs to iron out but is 95% there now.
Basically MW hands over all user creation/login/logout responsibilities to Drupal. Druapl in return replicates each new user in both the Drupal and MW user tables. It also manages user sessions to synchronize each application in understanding whether any given user is currently logged in or out.
If you are interested I can forward you the contact details for the guy developing it as I don't see anything about it on drupal.org.

I have read this almost a month late but if you are still looking for someone to do this then please send me an email; my address is netocrat@dodo.com.au (I am the author of the Treeview skin).
