Hello everyone, Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2018! We already have recruited six project ideas and mentors, but we are looking for a minimum of *14-15 ideas* more, as Google Summer of Code is a neat platform to bring new developers :) https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki /Google_Summer_of_Code/2018 If you are interested in mentoring a project, but not sure what the roles and responsibilities of a mentor are like, take a look at our guide: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Mentors.
