Hi team,
This is Kaushik Reddy. After a long work, I would like to introduce you to my idea proposal for the (Wikimedia) GSoC '19. Here is it: 1) Building an animation to dynamically create popups overlapped on a geographical map using a real-time API from Wikimedia.
I had found the root of this in here( I have gone through it a bit):
https://meta.m.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Data
I would like to work on this idea, this summer. Hope any mentor would join to guide me . Also, feel free to comment on this.
With regards, Kaushik.
Hello Kaushik,
It is hard to tell from your email what your project is about, how you are going to develop it, why is it important for Wikimedia, etc.
As you are looking for someone who could mentor on your proposed idea, it might be helpful if you could provide more details to have further discussion with them.
Mentoring organization results will be announced on Feb 26th. In the meanwhile, you can read a few good proposals linked from Step 8 here https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Participants#Applicatio..., and if Wikimedia gets accepted, you can write a proposal following the instructions in Step 9.
The initial draft proposal does not necessarily need to be polished but contain key details!
Cheers, Srishti

Hi, actually that Research:Data page seems stale. It says:
"Wikimedia broadcasts every change to every Wikimedia wiki using the Socket.IO protocol," whereas the current preferred way is to use SSE. You should take a look at: https://wikitech.wikimedia.org/wiki/EventStreams
I recently created a web app to visualize live Wikidata edits to artworks by watching EventStreams, so feel free to ping me if you have any questions or want to build off that.
