Sumana,

SMC is one of the oldest open source projects from India focused on improving Indic language computing. Also Santhosh Thottingal of Wikimedia's I18n team is one of the founding members of SMC :-)

Looking forward to a great GDoC summer ahead!

It's official! Today Wikimedia has been accepted into Google Summer of Code together with other 176 organizations:

Thank you, Quim! I'm glad you're able to take over administering our GSoC this year and that we are (in my opinion) on our way to a fulfilling Summer of Code.

Also: Wikimedia uses lots of open source software, and I hope we will benefit from GSoC students' work on Debian, LibreOffice, Nmap, OWASP, Python, Linux, WordPress, and more. Through GSoC I've learned of other FLOSS projects I hadn't heard of before, such as Swathanthra Malayalam Computing https://www.google-melange.com/gsoc/org/google/gsoc2013/smc which works on Malayalam-related software internationalisation. So, yay for new contributors to our larger community as well.
