Please get Python and/or PocketSphinx help for Wikiversity to absorb http://www.wiki.xprize.org/Meta-team#Goals systems in a manner similar to how Wikiversity incorporated Moodle. Form an Xprize team before the March deadline just in case.

is ready for GSoC this year. Please go for it.

This is how Wikimedia approaches Google Summer of Code 2015:

1. Contributors like you create a project idea in Phabricator associated to https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/. In order to become a Featured project idea, you need a well scoped project supported by two mentors.

2. Wikimedia applies to GSoC 2015 and is eventually accepted. Deadline for organization submissions: 20 February. https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T921

3. If we are accepted, students will look at our Featured project ideas and will apply to the ones that they find interesting. Sometimes students present their own project, but usually those are wikimedians already.

4. We look at all the proposals received, and we request to Google a number of slots.

5. Google gives us that number or less, depending on the total amount of slots requested in the program.

6. At this point, your project idea might have been taken by a student or not, and might have made it above the cut or not.

7. GSoC 2015 students are announced. Projects start.

PS: we are looking for help promoting Wikimedia GSoC/OPW projects in France, Italy, Russia, China, Japan... and now Hungary! https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T925
