Hello Wikimedians,
Gnome's Outreachy-13 <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy> is round the corner
and Wikimedia is again participating in yet another internship season ( Dec
6 to March 6 ). The application deadline is *Oct - 17*.
Its interesting to see that candidates have already started to ping on
projects and show their interest!
Our Outreachy-13 board
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/2207/> till now has only
three projects. A lot of projects are sitting in possible-tech-projects
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/> board
waiting to be mentored. Many of them are tagged as *community-wishlist*
showing the community consensus.
The *community wishlist* items which could use some love are:
1. Make Special:Listfiles show the quantity of globalusage for a file -
T120748 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120748>
2. Category suggestions based on filename, description and location -
T120437 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120437>
3. Create a Timer based reminder for workflows - T88781
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88781>
Some others which look interesting:
1. Dark archive for Commons - T120454
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120454>
2. Create a CAPTCHA that is also a useful micro edit - T87598
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87598>
3. Fix TreeViews to provide pageviews statistics for all articles of any
wikiproject etc. - T56184 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56184>
4. Stash unsaved drafts of articles - T89235
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89235>
5. Merge proofread text back into Djvu files - T59807
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T59807>
Its a gentle request to please go through the projects, and if you could
mentor any of those, add yourself to the task as a mentor, and we'll do the
rest.
Also, if you have a lingering task to finish or a new interesting feature
waiting to get implemented, add *possbile-tech-projects*, and we'll make
sure to feature it. The only scope requirement is that it should take 2-3
weeks for an experienced developer to finish.
Please come forward to mentor some of the enthusiastic students so that we
can welcome new members into our community :)
