Thanks to all mentors for their participation! Results are out - Wikimedia got accepted as a mentoring organization in GSoC 2023. There is still a month before the contributor application period begins (on March 20th), in case you would like to propose more projects. All the finalized ideas are published here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023 [1]. For Outreachy, we have finalized two project ideas < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_26%3E [2]; contributors who meet the eligibility criteria will be able to view the project details and contribute from March 6th onwards.

Cheers, Srishti, Sohom & Gopa (Wikimedia Org Admins)

Hi. I am reposting the Wikidocumentaries proposal as I somehow managed to send it to a separate thread, so here we go!

Thank you for the opportunity, we are excited to join this round of GSoC with this Wikidocumentaries proposal!

Wikidocumentaries[1] is a website that provides a language-independent way of browsing Wikimedia projects based on Wikidata items. It displays media from external repositories and integrates them as part of the pages. The idea is to allow the users to find relevant open content and contribute it to the Wikimedia projects by using the content for their purposes.

So far, Wikidocumentaries has not been enabled for contributions to Wikimedia projects. The goal of the GSoC project is to establish the entire process for retrieving media from a given media repository related to the currently viewed topic in Wikidocumentaries, displaying it in Wikidocumentaries and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, adding structured data statements to it.

When this workflow has been completed, it will be possible to make available further features to match, enrich or organize the data. It is possible to expand the work to these areas, based on the interests of the intern.

Tech: The UI code is created with Vue, and the API code is JavaScript. The work focuses on Structured Data on Commons, therefore understanding of the MediaWiki API, Wikidata and Structured Data on Commons is needed.

• Mentors: TuukkaH, Susannaanas
• Codebase: GitHub[2]
• Phabricator: Ticket[3], Project[4], Microtasks[5]
• Documentation website[6]

Looking forward to tackling these issues together!

Cheers Susanna & Tuukka

Hello everyone,

TLDR; Wikimedia will soon be applying as a mentoring organization to *Google Summer of Code 2023* < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023%3E [1] and *Outreachy Round 26* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_26 [2]. We are currently working on a list of interesting project ideas to include in the application. If you have some ideas for *coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, outreach, research) projects*, share them by* February 7th* here: < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326991%3E [3]. For non-coding projects that can be promoted via Outreachy, there are only two available slots, which will be allocated to mentors on a first-come, first-serve basis.

*Timeline* As a mentor, you will engage potential candidates in the application period for both programs between March and April. You will help candidates make small contributions to your project and answer any project-related queries during this time. You will work more closely with the accepted candidates during the coding period between May and August.

*Tips for proposing projects*

• Follow this task description template when you propose a project in

Phabricator: < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects%3E [4]. You can also use this workboard to pick an idea if you don't have one already. Add #Google- Summer-of-Code (2023) or #Outreachy (Round 26) tag.

• Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer

~3 months to complete.

• Each project should have at least two mentors, including one with a

technical background.

• Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve,

and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome.

Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of mentors on MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors [5], < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Mentors%3E [6].

Cheers, Srishti
