Wikimedia got accepted among the 201 organizations in the Google Sumer of
Code (GSOC) 2017 <https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/>!
We are trying to make it easier for prospective students to choose a
project idea and get started. And, so we are considering to showcase a
bunch of project ideas on the MediaWiki GSOC page itself:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2017.
Help us by mentoring a project from here:
- Check out the tasks in the '*Missing Mentors*' and '*Almost Ready to
be Mentored*' column on Possible-Tech-Projects
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/>
workboard.
- Check out the ''*Wishlist 11-30 (needs owner)*" and *"Wishlist
31-50
(needs owner)"* column on the Community-Wishlist-Survey-2016
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/2420/> workboard.
- Any portion of your project, which needs some support, would be a 2-3
month long project for a beginner and overall a good learning experience.
If you are interested in mentoring a project, add "
*Outreach-Programs-Projects*" and "*Google-Summer-of-Code (2017)*" tag to
the corresponding task on Phabricator. We will follow up with you from
there.
If you are looking for design, and documentation related projects to
mentor, we are participating in the Outreachy
<https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_14> program as well in
parallel to GSOC. Add "*Outreach-Programs-Projects*" and "*Outreachy
(Round-14)*" tag to a task you are interested in mentoring.
Email me if you've any questions, happy to help!!
Cheers,
