Hi
I am Harsh kothari I am an engineering student at L.D college. I have been an open source contributor since last 2 years and am contributing in MediaWiki since last 8 months. I am passionate about coding and enjoy it too. I also have been participating in various open source events in Gujarat as well outside of it.
I am submitting a proposal on Language Coverage Matrix dashboard as my GSoC 2013 project. It would help automate the information about language support provided by the Language Engineering team for e.g. key maps, web fonts, translation, language selector, i18n support for gender, plurals, grammar rules. The LCM would display this information as well as provide visualization graphs of language coverage using various search criteria such as tools or languages. it will be of tremendous use to the Language Engineering Team.
The below mentioned link will elaborate more on my proposal.

Looking forward to suggestions and inputs.
Thanks

The proposal is good, in general.
A few items that could be added to the planning section are some things that would be directly useful to MediaWiki developers and Wikmedia site maintainers: * Direct integration with existing lists of languages: Names.php, langdb.yaml in jquery.uls, extra languages supported in translatewiki.net and incubator, etc. * Integration with a matrix of existing or planned Wikimedia projects, so it would be clear from the matrix - is there a project in this language? Are the language tools extensions installed in this project? Is there an incubator project in this language? * Understanding variants: does this language supports variants in any way?
To the "if time permits" section I would add integration with other knowledge bases about languages, such as Ethnologue, CLDR and others, that would provide information such as number of speakers, literacy levels, language contact, etc. This way it would be possible to see, in a way that is slightly more structured that what we have now, how well our projects are covering the different languages of the world.
