Hello all,
I am writing this to share an exciting update with you all.
This year, as part of Wikimedia Foundation's participation in Google Summer
of Code 2026 <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/>, Montage was one of the
community projects that got a slot for participation (T415578
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T415578>; T421543
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T421543>). After reviewing several
applications and interacting with the contributors, we are excited to
welcome Abhinav Mohandas (cc'ed) onboard as GSoC contributor to Montage
this summer.
During the next 3-4 months, Abhinav will be working on various fixes and
feature improvements on Montage. Please note that he will be spending the
next few weeks getting on board and familiar with the tool, codebase etc.
*For users of the Montage tool (organizers of jury rounds, jurors etc.)*
- In the meantime, we encourage all the users of the Montage tool
(organizers of jury rounds, jurors etc.) to share your input that will help
us prioritize work during the contribution period.
- If you have any recurring challenges/errors with the tool or would
like to see new features, please share your input using the Issues on
GitHub: https://github.com/hatnote/montage/issues
- As a first step, please check if there is an existing issue reported
by someone else, in which case you upvote using an emoji on the same issue
or leave a comment.
- Note: We may not get through all the issues during the contribution
period, however your input would be helpful in prioritizing the issues as
we move forward.
Please join me in welcoming Abhinav, and let us know if you have any
questions.
Best,
Krishna Chaitanya V / User:KCVelaga
