Welcome GSOC and Outreachy people.
I'm especially glad to learn of the planned improvements to the Wiki Ed dashboard and the Quiz extension.
Good luck in your new roles,

Hey,
I'm Harjot Singh, currently pursuing Bachelors in Information technology. I've been part of the organisation since 2015 and it has been a learning experience. I'm really excited to be part of the program and work on the project.
Project Title : Upgrading Quiz extension and adding data storage feature
Quiz extension is currently used for numerous projects, but has numerous bugs and lacks features of saving data. The aim of the project is to upgrade quiz extension to MediaWiki standards while adding Data storage feature.
The following are the deliverables:
- Resolving known bugs
- Updating legacy code
- Adding Data storage feature
- Updating Documentation
Thanks and Regards, Harjot Singh
Hello,
I am Sonali Gupta. I am from India, currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in Computer Science. I will be graduating in May, 2018. I am immensely happy to be a part of Wikimedia community as an Outreachy intern. I will be writing documentation on how to create a Zotero translator. These translators are used by Citoid, a service to generate citation data. By the end of this project, I hope everyone will find it easy to write translators for the sites they wish, by making use of the documentation that will be prepared. It will be available on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Citoid/Creating_Zotero_translators I am super excited to work and learn new stuff this summer. I want to especially thank Marielle Volz and Srishti Sethi for giving me this opportunity and putting faith in me. I hope to be an asset to the team.
I am Keerthana from India, pursuing B.Tech in Engineering Physics from IIT Madras. I am gonna be working on Wiki Edu dashboard by WikiEducation Foundation. My project during the summer will be to add a feature to give some automatic feedback on the articles being edited by the dashboard users using the ML based data on the articles. This can especially help beginner Wikipedia editors to have not so bad experience on their first Wikipedia article. And using the same data it is possible to build a feature that can help editors find an article to which they can contribute the best to based on their previous Wikipedia editing experience. My mentors for the project are Sage Ross and Jonathan Morgan On Sun, May 7, 2017, 7:10 PM Sonali Gupta sonaligpt0@gmail.com wrote:

Hello everyone!

Here I am an active member of a local FOSS initiative and I will be working on the improvement of the extension 'proofreadpage' and Wikisource. By the end of the 3 months of coding phase during the GSoC period, I aim to implement new features and the mentioned deliverables in https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T161111.

(re-sent; apologies if this appears twice)
It seems they've added additional requirements since 2015.
My name is Alexander Jones. I edit as happy5214 on several wikis, primarily enwiki and Wikidata. I hail, though not originally, from San Antonio, Texas, also known as The Alamo City. I have received an associate degree in CS from my local community college, and I am currently pursuing a bachelor's degree in CS, with a minor in math, from UTSA.
This year, I am adding Thanks support to Pywikibot. I have previous experience with Pywikibot, as I added Flow support to Pywikibot during GSoC 2015. With this project, I will be adding API calls for thanking users, integrating them with the existing class structure, and writing scripts to create aggregate lists of frequent thankers.
Good luck to everyone, and I'll be busy catching up this week.
Alexander
I'm a little late to the welcome wagon, but I wanted to send a whole hearted welome to GSoC and Outreachy candiates that were accepted, I'd like to introduce myself to you, candiates, I'm Zppix (pronounced Ze-EP-Piks and no thats not my real name) I'm from United States, I'm a volunteer developer for WMF, and I also volunteer on en wiki, and occasionally other projects, I'm usually around IRC in most development-related WMF channels, under the nickname Zppix, so if you need to ask a question feel free to ask me as well as your mentors, I really hope you enjoy your time here and stay to help out far long after this round of GSoC/Outreachy is over. I look forward in crossing paths during development or on phabricator, I hope you all have a great summer as well.
Thanks, Zppix Volunteer Developer for WMF www.enwp.org/User:Zppix
