I think Andre missed the `Newsletter extension` in this report though. Checking https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/888/query/all/ we had *39* tasks for this round, with *4* still in the website. We welcome the community to take a look at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/ and play around with the newsletters at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters. In case you want rights to create/edit, please ping on http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/User_talk:Admin
On a side note, previous GSoC/Outreachy students can use GCI effectively to *finish of things* which were left from their project, and specially to get your work hit production. These can be as simple task like fixing some function argument docs to things as complicated as implementing a new special page with all cool functions etc. The students around are pretty hard working and know a good enough deal of MW by this point, worry not.
Thank you for all the students who made this round a wonderful one for the newsletter extension, and hope to see it hit production soon.

We have entered the last two weeks of Google Code-in: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in_2016
More than 250 tasks have been resolved by students so far.
PLEASE HELP: We expect an increase in activity in the last week. So if you have one or two more tasks in mind to mentor, add them. It's now or never!
To list some students' achievements in the last two weeks:
- Converted Special:RecentChanges to OOUI
- Allowed users to apply change tags as they make logged actions using the MediaWiki API (for 'imagerotate' and 'revisiondelete')
- 'mw-changeslist-legend' is not present anymore on Special:RecentChanges in MediaWiki's Minerva skin
- Disabled the statistics update when running 'maintenance/importDump.php' (to improve its performance)
- Added 'UnblockUser' + 'UnblockUserComplete' hooks to Special:Unblock
- Fixed a PHP error when transwiki'ing Special:Import via a redirected interwiki URL
- Added a $wgHTTPImportTimeout setting for Special:Import
- Fixed a variable interpolation in MediaWiki's Echo extension
- Added an id attribute to the "mw-error-cannotundelete" error message
- Removed /* @noflip */ Leaflet's CSS fixes
- Removed the deprecated WebRequest::checkSessionCookie() method in MediaWiki 1.29
- Fixed coding standards and added phpcs checks in the IDS extension
- Added ability to configure the web service endpoint in IDS
- Updated screenshots in VE's user guide about editing galleries
- Added GeoData + WikiHiero extension screenshots to their home pages
- Number of observations for Wikipedia's "idwiki" database set to 100000 in the Edit Quality Prediction model
- Glossary wiki pages on mw.org follow the formatting guidelines
- Added showThumbnails attribute to slideshow galleries
Again, congratulations to all our hard-working students and thanks to all our mentors providing tasks and reviewing them quickly.
As usual: Please contact us if you need help or have questions!
