Hello, I'm Sarvesh Gupta from Roorkee, India. I'm willing to participate for this year's GSoC. The Project in which I'm interested is "WikiMedia Identities Editorhttps://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2014#Wikimedia_Identities_Editor ". My mentor for this project would be Alvaro del Castillo and Daniel Izquierdo.
Brief Overview of the Project This project was thought up for providing easy and efficient way to contributors for edit or update their profile by providing a web interface. For now contributor of MediaWiki has to go through a long process to edit their profile, so it is a kind of compulsion for contributors to have a web interface which facilitates them to have an easy access to their profile. Moreover, MediaWiki unfortunately missing a proper method of syncing two different account of a contributor, so this project also aims to merge the data or information from multiple contributor's account to one single place.
My Proposal: "https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Sarveshgpt1991/WIE" User Page : "http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Sarveshgpt1991" Please, go though my proposal and suggest any improvements. Thank you

http://korma.wmflabs.org is more useful when data of contributors is filled and up to date. For this we need a system to allow users to fill their own data. Thank you for your interest in working on this.
My main concern is what list of users should we use. Your proposal (and the initial idea of the mentors) is that Korma itself could host that list of users, and the interface to update them. I'm proposing a way to do this starting from the list of MediaWiki users (in this case at http://wikitech.wikimedia.org )
Then again, I'm not the most qualified person to propose a technical solution. See my comment at https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=58585#c13 -- more feedback is welcome.
