Hello All,
I am Sriharsh ( I go by the nick of darthbhyrava on IRC and on
Phabricator), and this is a rather late introduction of myself. :P
I am a second year undergrad pursuing a dual degree (B.Tech in Computer
Science and MS in Computational Linguisitcs) course at IIIT-Hyderabad. I
was fortunate enough to be selected as a Google Summer of Code intern at
Wikimedia this year, and I will be working on implementing pywikibot
support for the Thanks extension. :)
I would like to thank my mentor jayvdb for helping me extensively since
February, and for being one of the primary reasons for my getting selected.
I would also like to polybuildr, my friend from college, who introduced me
to the world of Wikimedia, fellow intern AbdealiJK for his help, and all
the other people who replied to my doubts on IRC or reviewed my patches or
commented on my tasks. Thank you all, for giving me an opportunity to work
on Thanks! :)
It's been a while into the Community Bonding period, and I have enjoyed it
so far. I have realized the demands of the project, and look forward to the
challenge of implementing Pywikibot-Thanks over the next two months. This
being my first GSoC experience, I look forward to a learning a lot over the
summer and beyond!
Thank you for your time.
Sriharsh Bhyravajjula
