They begin accepting applications for mentoring organizations in two days. Any word on this? On Wed, Feb 27, 2008 at 12:03 PM, Brian <Brian.Mingus(a)colorado.edu> wrote:

That's one that I personally would like to participate in, although I would need to do a lot of reading to get my PHP back up to par. Of course, it may be too ambitious for a single summer project. --Andrew Whitworth

I agree that having a more friendly user interface for editing wiki articles would be great, but it has to be -really- given good thought, i don't think it's simply a question of integrating FCKeditor or TinyMCE in MediaWiki, we should first have a good concept on how you should edit wiki articles in a visual way. Aside from that, a Google SoC project to improve usability and the user interface would be great and would really enhance the software. Maybe simplifying the way skins work is step one in that process? -- Husky / Hay

I can not find pages about "Summer of Code 2008" on meta. Will WMF be a mentoring organization in this event? Should we setup a page on meta to discuss all the proposals? My proposal: A student from China want to work on a git-based wiki implement which may related to our projects. It might not be very useful immediately, but a proof of new concept.
