Hello everyone!
After a long and intense selection process, Google and GNOME Foundation
have finally announced the list of GSoC and Outreachy selects for the
current round. I'm pleased to announce we have 9 interns for GSoC and 1 for
Outreachy!
Congratulations to everyone selected and to the mentors who have put in
much hard work in selecting worthy candidates. Also thanks to those who put
in hard work but could not be selected. We had limited projects and had to
make some hard decisions. We hope you'll keep contributing to Mediawiki and
try again for the next GSoC/Outreachy round.
We have a general guide to being a successful intern at

still under development and we'll be adding more details to it as we move
forward in the program. The main pages for the respective programs are at
