I am really happy to be one of Google Code-in 2017 participants working on Wikimedia tasks!
I am glad to see that this year more students were participating and more tasks were completed! GCI16 was great, GCI17 is even better!
Once again, thanks to all mentors! You were doing a lot of hard work, putting so much passion into it. Thank you for creating and mentoring tasks, reviewing patches, answering questions asked by students and providing tips! Your guidance throughout the process is highly appreciated!
Special thanks for administrators who worked hard organizing this event! It wouldn't be possible without you!
It was great experience for me https://blog.phandev.net/posts/gci17 to participate in Google Code-in 2017. I liked being contributor here, that's why I decided to continue my work after the contest too!
Thank you for everything again!
Respectfully, Nikita Volobuev (also known as Phantom42 on Phabricator and IRC)
