GSOC 2012 : Lucene Automatic Query Expansion from Wikipedia Text
by Gautham Shankar 05 Apr '12

05 Apr '12

Hello, I'm Gautham Shankar from India pursuing my 4th year bachelors in computer science and engineering.I find the project proposal "Lucene Automatic Query Expansion from Wikipedia Text" in GSOC 2012 very interesting and would love to work on it. i have created a proposal for the idea https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Gautham_shankar/Gsoc I have experience in data mining and have built a recommendation framework using the heat diffusion principle which has been tested on the AOL search dataset to recommend better queries that can be typed for a given input query.It has been implemented in java. Since it is a framework it can be used to recommend different types of data. for example the same framework can be used to recommend movies as well as music.Im currently working on an extension of this project to add social network graphs so as to recommend people who have the same interests in movie, music etc when a query is typed. I have also built a web based product "hive" which is a networking platform for members of the power generation industry. The users can share their experiences and it is a open forum where members interact with one another to effectively run their machines and solve common problems. The product has been implemented using PHP, mysql, javascript (inc ajax). Lucene is the search engine and phpbb is used for forums. <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Gautham_shankar/Gsoc> it would be very helpful if anyone could give a feedback and guide me in improving the proposal. Eagerly awaiting a response. Regards, Gautham Shankar

I am very excited about this project and working with you; and truth be told, 23rd April seems like ages ahead.

template for linking to GitWeb
by Amir E. Aharoni 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hallo, We have the interwiki prefixes '[[:svn:' and '[[:rev:', but last time i checked we don't have any easy way to link to GitWeb or Gerrit. Maybe it's possible to link to Gerrit using an interwiki prefix, but GitWeb would probably be too complicated and will require a template. (A "link" in the style of '[[File:' with a gazillion parameters is... suboptimal.) I started a template for doing this: https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Template:Gitweb It's very naive and early, because i know very little about GitWeb, so feel free to play with it and make it more useful. Also, it's not used much now, so feel free even to break it :) -- Amir Elisha Aharoni · אָמִיר אֱלִישָׁע אַהֲרוֹנִי http://aharoni.wordpress.com ‪“We're living in pieces, I want to live in peace.” – T.

Google Summer of Code - Integrate upload from Flickr & Taxobox (Ryan Kaldari)
by David Palacios 04 Apr '12

04 Apr '12

Hi there, I'm Currently working on a major in Computer Science and Technology and I want to get involved in the open source community (I am a newbie). From the listed ideas, Integrate upload from Flickr and Taxobox caught my attention and I am working on a proposal, but I didn't want to wait more time to introduce myself to you and the community. I have experience in web development using javascript, jQuery, HTML5 and PHP, I also have used MySQL on school projects (I have more experience in SQL Server because an internship I did). The past 3 days I've been getting familiar with the resources available for developers (MediaWiki architecture, Manual:code and Coding conventions ). I am glad to say that I am familiar with most of the javascript and PHP coding conventions. I'll let you know when I post it on my userpage, hoping I can receive some feedback. Regards, -- David Palacios
