Greeting, I want to contribute to wikimedia and for that Outreachy https://www.gnome.org/outreachy/ intership program looks perfect fit for me.
The most prominent is Kiwix ( http://www.kiwix.org/wiki/Main_Page ). I imagine they would love to have an outreachy person help them out. They are separate organization from WMF, so I'm not sure if there's logistical issues there (But I think they've participated in GSOC in the past. Qgil would know for sure if there are any issues in regards to that)
Adisha, that a nice proposition. Since 10 years the Kiwix team has been working to propose cutting edge solutions to make the web available offline. If you don't want to reinvent the wheel and bother about the impact of your work, then Kiwix has a range of nice technical challenges (mostly in C++, Python or Javascript). If you are curious, let me know your skills and things you might be motivated to work on.
