Respected Mam
I did liked to know, how students can get mentors if they want to
participate in GSOC 2023 and contribute for Wikimedia

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.
