Greetings,
I'm Prssanna Desai, an undergraduate student from NMIMS University, Mumbai,
India and I've been selected for GSoC '18.
*My Project:* *Improve Data Explorer for query.wikidata.org
<http://query.wikidata.org>*
The project consists of making usability improvements to the Explorer
Dialog and the Graph Explorer of WDQS.
You can read my full proposal here:

I’d like to thank my mentors Jonas Kress, Stas Malyshev and Lucas
Werkmeister for giving me this wonderful opportunity!
Regards,
Prssanna Desai
Hello everyone,
I would like to share my deepest gratitude for everyone who responded to
the Wikimedia Communities and Contributors Survey. The survey has already
closed for this year. The quality of the results has improved because more
people responded. We heard from over 200 people who work in volunteer
developer spaces like Phabricator, IRC, Mediawiki, mailing lists, and many
others, which is a solid increase from last year.
We are working on analyzing the data already and hope to have something
published on meta in a couple months. Be sure to watch Community Engagement
Insights <https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Community_Engagement_Insights>
for when we publish the reports. We will also message those individuals who
signed up on the thank you page or sent us an email to receive updates
about the report. Feel free to reach out to me directly at egalvez[at]
wikimedia.org or at my talk page on meta
<https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/User:EGalvez_(WMF)>.
Thank you again to everyone for sharing your opinions with us!

Hi,
A long standing issue with references that it doesn't natively support
direction which is widely requested feature in RTL wikis.
Can someone with +2 permissions please review the gerrit item in
https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/7738/ ?
Thanks,
Eran
Hi Daniel,
Happy to hear that you like the new features! :)
Re: 2FA logins, that is an interesting question! However, it is not one
that is unique to our app, for if you log in to your 2FA-enabled Wikimedia
account on your mobile phone's browser, both factors can also be on the
same mobile device. ;) Perhaps someone more well-versed in
security/authentication than I am could be better placed to answer that
question.
Point noted re: the CCs, thanks!
Best regards,
Josephine
