As every year, the Commons Android App team is happy to mentor one project. This year's project:
== Make upload more reliable ==
Built with Java and Kotlin, this Android app allows contributors to upload pictures they have taken with their phone/tablet. Unfortunately, upload often fails, and sometimes loses some metadata.
The goal of this project is to fix these bugs.
Our team mostly uses GitHub and chat for code collaboration. Mentors: Syced, Kaartic (maintainer of the app).
Details: https://github.com/commons-app/apps-android-commons/issues/5129 https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T327367

Scribe-iOS would also like to mentor a project for this round of GSoC :) Scribe is an open-source, Wikidata powered application that provides keyboards for second language learners. We use Wikidata's lexicographical data to help language learners remember difficult grammar such as noun genders, verb conjugations and translations directly within the keyboard. The project pages on GitHub are the following:
iOS: https://github.com/scribe-org/Scribe-iOS Data: https://github.com/scribe-org/Scribe-Data Android (WIP): https://github.com/scribe-org/Scribe-Android
Our project proposal is "Adding a Menu and Keyboards to Scribe-iOS" (https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328342). We're in the midst really taking Scribe-iOS to a professional level, and for that we need to overhaul how the app interface works and add options for the user to customize their experience. The prototypes for this new experience [1] are already done, so the focus of this part of the project would be an implementation in Swift. Once that's finished we'll also work to add more keyboards to Scribe based on languages that have the most available lexicographical data (languages we're considering so far can be found in [2]). This would allow participants to learn more about Wikidata Query Service, using Python to interface with Wikidata, Python data formatting and again Swift for adding the new keyboards into the app.
I would be the main and technical mentor for this project, but beyond that would include other members of the development and design team :) Getting this done would put the iOS app on strong footing and allow us to focus on Android going forward :D

Abstract Wikipedia is also interested in mentoring someone in this next run in GSoC. Our project is, "end-to-end test coverage for Abstract Wikipedia's Wikifuntions"[1].
Abstract Wikipedia https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Abstract_Wikipedia is an idea that people can create and maintain Wikipedia articles in a language-independent way. A particular language Wikipedia can translate this language-independent article into its language. Code does the translation. This code will be run on Wikifunctions.
Wikifunctions https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:WikiLambda is a new Wikimedia project that allows anyone to create and maintain code. This is useful in many different ways. It provides a catalog of all kinds of functions that anyone can call, write, maintain, and use.
When Wikifunctions launches, the team wants the core features to be covered by end-to-end tests that can be run against any patch review. We are leveraging existing selenium tools and patterns to write the tests, and a novel GitLab Kubernetes based CI pattern that integrates with Gerrit (MediaWiki's legacy git version control server).
The aim of this GSoC project will be to write e2e (end-to-end) tests using Selenium https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Selenium and integrate them into the Wikifunction pipeline. A stretch goal of this project working on "production-izing" pipeline itself, and documenting the pattern for other teams to evaluate and implement.
The technology stack will be mostly Javascript and Selenium, with a possibility of getting into Rust, Gitlab CI, and Kubernetes. I would be the primary mentor, with co-mentorship from Cory Massaro, Jame Forrester, and Denny Vrandečić.

There are a couple projects related to Wiki Education Dashboard / Programs & Events Dashboard that I'm hoping to mentor for. It's a web application built with Ruby on Rails and React.js, and it tracks participation in things like classroom editing projects and editathons.
For Outreachy, the project is to build a Ruby gem for fetching and parsing Wikidata diffs, so that it's easy to determine what changed — how many statements or references were added, etc — in a given edit. Once the Outreachy projects on Phabricator go public, you can find it here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328389
For GSoC, the project I've listed is to improve the user experience for setting up a new event on Programs & Events Dashboard when the event organizer only wants to track contributions to a specific set of articles. You can find the more detailed description here: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328698
(We're also open to student-proposed projects for the Dashboard, and I've mentored for several such projects in the past.)
If you're interested in exploring the project and/or chatting about it, you can request an invite to our Slack channel by sending me an email ( sage@wikiedu.org).

Hi. I am reposting the Wikidocumentaries proposal as I somehow managed to send it to a separate thread, so here we go!
Thank you for the opportunity, we are excited to join this round of GSoC with this Wikidocumentaries proposal!
Wikidocumentaries[1] is a website that provides a language-independent way of browsing Wikimedia projects based on Wikidata items. It displays media from external repositories and integrates them as part of the pages. The idea is to allow the users to find relevant open content and contribute it to the Wikimedia projects by using the content for their purposes.
So far, Wikidocumentaries has not been enabled for contributions to Wikimedia projects. The goal of the GSoC project is to establish the entire process for retrieving media from a given media repository related to the currently viewed topic in Wikidocumentaries, displaying it in Wikidocumentaries and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, adding structured data statements to it.
When this workflow has been completed, it will be possible to make available further features to match, enrich or organize the data. It is possible to expand the work to these areas, based on the interests of the intern.
Tech: The UI code is created with Vue, and the API code is JavaScript. The work focuses on Structured Data on Commons, therefore understanding of the MediaWiki API, Wikidata and Structured Data on Commons is needed.
* Mentors: TuukkaH, Susannaanas * Codebase: GitHub[2] * Phabricator: Ticket[3], Project[4], Microtasks[5] * Documentation website[6]
Looking forward to tackling these issues together!
Cheers Susanna & Tuukka

Thanks to all mentors for their participation! Results are out - Wikimedia got accepted as a mentoring organization in GSoC 2023. There is still a month before the contributor application period begins (on March 20th), in case you would like to propose more projects. All the finalized ideas are published here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023 [1]. For Outreachy, we have finalized two project ideas < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_26%3E [2]; contributors who meet the eligibility criteria will be able to view the project details and contribute from March 6th onwards.
Cheers, Srishti, Sohom & Gopa (Wikimedia Org Admins)

Hi. I am reposting the Wikidocumentaries proposal as I somehow managed to send it to a separate thread, so here we go!
Thank you for the opportunity, we are excited to join this round of GSoC with this Wikidocumentaries proposal!
Wikidocumentaries[1] is a website that provides a language-independent way of browsing Wikimedia projects based on Wikidata items. It displays media from external repositories and integrates them as part of the pages. The idea is to allow the users to find relevant open content and contribute it to the Wikimedia projects by using the content for their purposes.
So far, Wikidocumentaries has not been enabled for contributions to Wikimedia projects. The goal of the GSoC project is to establish the entire process for retrieving media from a given media repository related to the currently viewed topic in Wikidocumentaries, displaying it in Wikidocumentaries and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, adding structured data statements to it.
When this workflow has been completed, it will be possible to make available further features to match, enrich or organize the data. It is possible to expand the work to these areas, based on the interests of the intern.
Tech: The UI code is created with Vue, and the API code is JavaScript. The work focuses on Structured Data on Commons, therefore understanding of the MediaWiki API, Wikidata and Structured Data on Commons is needed.
- Mentors: TuukkaH, Susannaanas
- Codebase: GitHub[2]
- Phabricator: Ticket[3], Project[4], Microtasks[5]
- Documentation website[6]
Looking forward to tackling these issues together!
Cheers Susanna & Tuukka

Hello everyone,
TLDR; Wikimedia will soon be applying as a mentoring organization to *Google Summer of Code 2023* < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023%3E [1] and *Outreachy Round 26* https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_26 [2]. We are currently working on a list of interesting project ideas to include in the application. If you have some ideas for *coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, outreach, research) projects*, share them by* February 7th* here: < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326991%3E [3]. For non-coding projects that can be promoted via Outreachy, there are only two available slots, which will be allocated to mentors on a first-come, first-serve basis.
*Timeline* As a mentor, you will engage potential candidates in the application period for both programs between March and April. You will help candidates make small contributions to your project and answer any project-related queries during this time. You will work more closely with the accepted candidates during the coding period between May and August.
*Tips for proposing projects*
- Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
Phabricator: < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects%3E [4]. You can also use this workboard to pick an idea if you don't have one already. Add #Google- Summer-of-Code (2023) or #Outreachy (Round 26) tag.
- Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer
~3 months to complete.
- Each project should have at least two mentors, including one with a
technical background.
- Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve,
and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome.
Learn more about the roles and responsibilities of mentors on MediaWiki.org: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Mentors [5], < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Mentors%3E [6].

Research into translation imbalances
=====
A short round of initial investigation by Jan Dittrich and myself has revealed a strong pattern in how Content Translation is used: comparing the number of articles being translated from Wikipedia languages with more editors and articles into languages with fewer articles, we’ve found an imbalance as large as 100:1 in favor of translations from the larger to the smaller language.
There is much to be done to understand the source of this imbalance, whether it’s desirable, and whether we can design an intervention which leads to a more balanced exchange between languages.
We kindly invite Outreachy applicants to consider helping us with this project, and we will co-create a flexible mentoring opportunity in whichever of these fields is most interesting to you:
-
User experience research -
Programming -
Data analysis
Please see the longer version of this proposal for more details and to find “microtasks” for getting started,

Hello, the linked Phabricator task is "restricted" for me, I'm unable to see it.
