Difficult to say without knowing much about you.
From your blog one can see that you have gone through the list of proposals. Why not choosing one or two that fit your skills and interests? Then you can contact the related mentors for further advice.
And what about a microtask? Have you check the links offered at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Microtasks ?
I found this page http://socialcoding4good.org/organizations/wikimedia
and I select task given in last of volunteer opportunities list. i.e Improve our math support using TeX and OCaml. Make it easier for people to write and read mathematical formulae in Wikipedia.
Is this project valid to show in OPW. if not then suggest me.
Or at least you can explain yourself with more details in this list, and we will do our best helping you finding an appropriate microtask & project.

Hi, Navdeep. Thanks for writing to us. I agree with Quim that you should go ahead and contact the mentors who are mentoring the specific activities you're interested in that are mentioned on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women . I'm contacting a few people who are specifically interested in math support in MediaWiki to see whether they'd be interested in talking with you about this potential internship.
Some additional steps that might help you:
* Register a free account at mediawiki.org. * Request developer access https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Developer_access so it'll be easier for you to navigate Gerrit, our source control system. We'll grant it within a business day. * Read the most recent monthly Wikimedia Foundation engineering report for background on interesting things happening in Wikimedia engineering: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Wikimedia_engineering_report/2012/October * Read https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Manual:MediaWiki_architecture for an overview of the MediaWiki web-based application
The deadline for applications to the Women Outreach Program is December 3rd. You are encouraged to list yourself at
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Candidates
and link to the relevant pages as soon as possible. We like transparency and we are used to work-in-progress. :)
Then, come chat with us in our 24/7 chat channel on IRC. Details: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/MediaWiki_on_IRC
Thanks again.
