Hi,
The Google Summer of Code student application phase is closed.
We have got a total of 69 applications from 60 students. The numbers so far are:
(updated)
47 valid applications.
16 ignored: out of scope, clearly incomplete or duplicate.
6 withdrawn by the students.
The table at https://www.mediawiki.org/**wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013<
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Summer_of_Code_2013%3Eshould
match the list in the GSoC site.
Next milestone: May 6 Telling Google the min/max number of slots we want before May 6. Last year we got 9 slots and by all measurements we need a lot more this time. Both students and mentors need to work hard to convince Google that we deserve them!
Based on the feedback received from the mentors we are requesting
11 min 21 max
Let's see how it goes. What is quite impressive is that almost all those 21 features are backed by two mentors, with almost no duplication! And
very
qualified ones.
I hope Google appreciates this important detail. We will know on
Wednesday.
Tomorrow Monday I will send details about the selection of candidates.
EVERYBODY

MENTORS
- Fight for your slot! Remember that Google is the first who needs to be
convinced. Wish-to-mentor ALL candidates for the features you volunteer to mentor. Don't worry yet about selecting candidates.
- Specify in the private comments whether you consider the projects you
mentor ESSENTIAL or DESIRABLE. We will use this input to ask Google min/max slots. (Language, VisualEditor and Wikidata teams have already sent their team decisions on max/min slots).
- Be aware of the selection process:
https://www.mediawiki.org/**wiki/Mentorship_programs/** Selection_process#Selecting_**the_right_ones<
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Mentorship_programs/Selection_process#Selecti...
April/068913.html<
http://lists.wikimedia.org/pipermail/wikitech-l/2013-April/068913.html%3E
I will submit the min/max numbers for Google by Sunday night PDT.
Questions? Just ask.
Enjoy your weekend!
PS: I won't chase students or mentors during the selection process. The principle is: if I have to do it now then I'll have to do it even more during the program. B)
