Hi, a few of us had an offline discussion about getting university professors to encourage their students to publish code that they develop for classes based on MediaWiki and Wikimedia projects. What I heard is that professors are using MW and Wikimedia projects as environments for student devs but not many are publishing the code that the students produce. Is anyone working on outreach to university professors to encourage them to get student projects published and in a form that we can use, and is there a list of projects somewhere that are suggested for professors to use when teaching? This could be a dev equivalent to the Wikimedia Education Program.

I guess that could be the future DDH? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Data_%26_Developer_Hub
Or perhaps the list of GsoC projects? https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_past_projects
