Hi Everyone
Firstly I, Shubham would like to introduce myself to the developers of this commmunity. I am currently pursuing Computer Science and Engineering at IIT Roorkee INDIA. I had got a good knowledge of the tools used for the development of open source software.
My skills include Programming languages: GNU C/C++, Java, Python, Javascript, Version control systems Git/Github and SVN. I am also aware with many of the web development application tools and content management systems. I am an ambitious person willing to learn other technologies when need in future.
I choose this organisation for the contribution as the work the community does looks very appealing and interesting to me and useful for the whole community. The skills used by the organisation for the development of open source software matches with my skills to much extent.
I have ideas to improve and excel interest in lay people in Gene wiki* by including the short interesting video based learning which takes the data from Wikimedia and create a short video which helps the people to understand easily. I need a help to work on this.*
In this approach I would like to implement mechanism in which long paragraphs will be extracted from geneWiki and organized in a way that can be shown as pictures or frame of pictures. Through this mechanism people would be able to learn easily because pictures or videos are remembered more easily.
Thanks Shubham

You are more likely to get a useful response if you ask a more direct question. What specificly are you looking for help with? Are you simply looking for gsoc mentors? In that case you should say that explicitly. Additionally creating a detailed description of what you want to do (perhaps with a mock up) on a user subpage may help attract mentors. If you are encountering a specific issue you need help resolving, please say what they are.

P.s. also you should make clear that gene wiki is a wikiproject on wikipedia not an external wiki.
Are you simply looking for gsoc mentors?
I wanted to discuss about the idea and very much interested to take this further. And if the idea seems to be feasible and technically implementable then I would like to work on this project for GSoc 2014 and would need a mentor who can guide/help me to achieve the task.

Are you referring to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Portal:Gene_Wiki ?
The first step for a proposal like this is to get the buy-in from the project maintainers. If they are also interested in your proposal and they can provide at least one mentor, then we can continue seeing the possibilities of this proposal.
I agree with Brian that a draft in a wiki page (for instance a subpage of your user page at mediawiki.org) will help you getting your point across and finding potential mentors.
Thank you for your interest in contriguting to Wikimedia.
