We have a lot of amazing potential projects that just missed the selection criteria for the community wish list in 2019

Would some of these quality as projects?

Hello everyone,
Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentor organization in the Google Summer of Code 2019 with 207 open source projects https://opensource.googleblog.com/2019/02/gsoc-2019-organizations.html :) And, application period for Outreachy Round 18 started last week.
We have listed a few ideas for projects for both programs on MediaWiki and we are looking for more. Unlike Google Summer of Code, Outreachy is open to non-students and non-coders and projects could be around documentation, design, translation research, outreach, etc. View current list of ideas:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2019
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_18
Both these programs have a similar timeline for the summer round. Accepted candidates will work with mentors from May to August 2019. If you are interested in mentoring a project, create a task on Phabricator and tag it with #outreach-programs-projects and #Google-Summer-of-Code (2019) or #Outreachy (Round 18). You can also choose to mentor for projects already on outreach-programs-projects https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects/ workboard. Remember, every project must have two mentors.
Some helpful resources for you:
