There are a couple projects related to Wiki Education Dashboard / Programs & Events Dashboard that I'm hoping to mentor for. It's a web application built with Ruby on Rails and React.js, and it tracks participation in things like classroom editing projects and editathons.

For Outreachy, the project is to build a Ruby gem for fetching and parsing Wikidata diffs, so that it's easy to determine what changed — how many statements or references were added, etc — in a given edit. Once the Outreachy projects on Phabricator go public, you can find it here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328389

For GSoC, the project I've listed is to improve the user experience for setting up a new event on Programs & Events Dashboard when the event organizer only wants to track contributions to a specific set of articles. You can find the more detailed description here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328698

(We're also open to student-proposed projects for the Dashboard, and I've mentored for several such projects in the past.)

If you're interested in exploring the project and/or chatting about it, you can request an invite to our Slack channel by sending me an email (sage@wikiedu.org).

Abstract Wikipedia is also interested in mentoring someone in this next run in GSoC. Our project is, "end-to-end test coverage for Abstract Wikipedia's Wikifuntions"[1].

Abstract Wikipedia is an idea that people can create and maintain Wikipedia articles in a language-independent way. A particular language Wikipedia can translate this language-independent article into its language. Code does the translation. This code will be run on Wikifunctions.

Wikifunctions is a new Wikimedia project that allows anyone to create and maintain code. This is useful in many different ways. It provides a catalog of all kinds of functions that anyone can call, write, maintain, and use.

When Wikifunctions launches, the team wants the core features to be covered by end-to-end tests that can be run against any patch review. We are leveraging existing selenium tools and patterns to write the tests, and a novel GitLab Kubernetes based CI pattern that integrates with Gerrit (MediaWiki's legacy git version control server).

The aim of this GSoC project will be to write e2e (end-to-end) tests using Selenium and integrate them into the Wikifunction pipeline. A stretch goal of this project working on "production-izing" pipeline itself, and documenting the pattern for other teams to evaluate and implement.

The technology stack will be mostly Javascript and Selenium, with a possibility of getting into Rust, Gitlab CI, and Kubernetes. I would be the primary mentor, with co-mentorship from Cory Massaro, Jame Forrester, and Denny Vrandečić.

Hello everyone,

TLDR; Wikimedia will soon be applying as a mentoring organization to Google Summer of Code 2023 <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023> [1] and Outreachy Round 26 <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_26> [2]. We are currently working on a list of interesting project ideas to include in the application. If you have some ideas for coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, outreach, research) projects, share them by February 7th here: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326991> [3]. For non-coding projects that can be promoted via Outreachy, there are only two available slots, which will be allocated to mentors on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Timeline
As a mentor, you will engage potential candidates in the application period for both programs between March and April. You will help candidates make small contributions to your project and answer any project-related queries during this time. You will work more closely with the accepted candidates during the coding period between May and August.

Tips for proposing projects
* Follow this task description template when you propose a project in Phabricator: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects> [4]. You can also use this workboard to pick an idea if you don't have one already. Add #Google- Summer-of-Code (2023) or #Outreachy (Round 26) tag.
* Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer ~3 months to complete.
* Each project should have at least two mentors, including one with a technical background.
* Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve, and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome.
