Hello everyone,
Wikimedia is gearing up to apply as a mentoring organization for Google Summer of Code 2024 < https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2024%3E%5B1] and Outreachy Round 28 https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_28 [2]. Currently, we're crafting a list of exciting project ideas for the application. If you have any suggestions for projects, whether coding or non-coding (design, documentation, translation, outreach, research), please share them by February 5th via this Phabricator task: < https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T354734%3E [3]. Note that for non-coding projects eligible for Outreachy, slots are limited and will be allocated to mentors on a first-come, first-serve basis.
Timeline
In your role as a mentor, your involvement spans the application period for both programs, taking place from March to April. During this time, you'll guide candidates in making small contributions to your project and address any project-related queries they may have. As the application period concludes, you'll further intensify your collaboration with accepted candidates throughout the coding period, which extends from May to August. Your support and guidance are crucial to their success in the program.
Guidelines for Crafting Project Proposals:
-
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 (2024) or #Outreachy (Round 28) 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.

Hi all,
The Commons Android app (https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Commons:Mobile_app), GSoC participant every year since 2018, proposes the following project:
== Improve upload queue management == https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356237 - Process upload tasks as a real queue, - Make it easier to see whether all uploads are finished or not, - Prevent retries for genuinely failed uploads, - etc, see details on Phabricator.
Mentors: Nicolas Raoul, Ritika Pahwa
Best regards, Nicolas Raoul
Hello all,
From the Scribe community that makes Wikidata based language learning tools it's my pleasure to propose two projects for this year's Google Summer of Code:
== Scribe-Data: Refactor into a multi purpose Wikidata language pack CLI tool == https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358064 - We want to achieve a long term team goal of converting the Scribe-Data formatting process into a general tool for all - You'll be able to easily download formatted Wikidata language-word type packs (German nouns, French verbs, etc) - Lots of SPARQL to learn as we expand the query base to as many languages as we can! - Deployment via source or Python's pip
Mentors in order: Will Yoshida, Andrew McAllister, Henrik Thomasson
== Scribe-iOS: Add multilingual translation and internationalized interfaces == https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358063 - After a successful GSoC '23 we're on to another milestone for our community where we want to be able to translate in keyboard from any Scribe language to any other - As of now we can only do English to keyboard language - We'll also work to expand the internationalization of the application and build a full code-based i18n process that integrates into current and future applications
Mentors in order: Andrew McAllister, Henrik Thomasson, Will Yoshida
All the best, Andrew McAllister
Hi,
For anyone interested in working with PHP and JavaScript, we have a project to improve the InlineComments MediaWiki extension:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T356436
InlineComments is a relatively new extension that allows for Google Docs-style user annotations within pages. There are some interesting ways it can be improved, most notably by allowing user tagging with "@".
-Yaron
Hello all,
We (me and Sammy) have proposed a project to improve the searchability of the PageTriage extension's Special:NewPagesFeed, which is a VueJS interface that allows patrollers on English Wikipedia to track new pages created by users.
If your into Vue/JS and PHP, feel free to give us a buzz :)

A last minute addition to the Google Summer of Code 2024 projects:
== www.wikipedia.org Wikimedia portals - codebase modernization ==
This project will seek to modernize and update the code that generates www.wikipedia.org, this work will include:
- Refactoring outdated code - Modernizing the build step and tooling - Removing unnecessary dependencies - Adding a testing framework and tests
If you have experience with Node.js, Gulp.js or Jest, then this could be the project for you: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T358885

I've listed two projects for Programs & Events Dashboard, a web app built with Ruby on Rails and React.
One is focused on overhauling the way that the Dashboard's training module system gets data, so that it's easier for users to create and edit their own training modules. It's a pretty complex project involving both front-end and back-end changes. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2024#2._%5BPrograms_&am...
The other is focused on making it easier to copy courses from one Dashboard to another. It's rather more self-contained code-wise, but also touches both front-end and back-end. See https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2024#4._%5BPrograms_&am...
I'm also open to GSoC or Outreachy applicants coming up with their own project ideas.

Hello Onyinyechi, I submitted two project ideas directly on https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2024 in late February. There are the copy :
=== 9. Lingua Libre SignIt === Lingua Libre's mission has been extended to [[:en:Sign Languages|Sign Languages]] in 2019. Both a click-and-translate Firefox extension and a video recording studio have been developped. Both system UI exist in 35+ languages allowing the global documentation and learning of sign languages. As Manisfest v2.0 extensions are being phased out, the project is under threat. A full revamp into manifest v3.0 and a modern extension structure would allow the project to be compatible with all web navigators. *'''Tech stack''': JS, NodeJS, potentially modern frameworks (Vue, React, Svelte) *'''Size''': 90 hours * '''Difficulty''': Intermediate * '''Mentor(s)''': [[:meta:User:Yug|Yug]]. * '''Relevant links:''' [https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T359799 Phabricator project], [https://github.com/lingua-libre/Signit Repository], [https://github.com/lingua-libre/Signit/Issues Issues], [[:meta:Lingua_Libre/SignIt|Lingua Libre SignIt]], [https://addons.mozilla.org/fr/firefox/addon/lingua-libre-signit/Lingua Firefox extension]
=== 10. Lingua Libre v3.0 enhancement and migration === In the field of Language diversity, Wikimedia Foundation and Wikimedia France have supported [https://LinguaLibre.org LinguaLibre.org], a single page VueJS application to rapidly record vocabulary of the world. Over 240 languages and 1.2 millions audios have been recorded into Wikimedia sites through this project.

Hello everyone,
I am Angel Sharma(Rockingpenny) , an undergraduate pursuing my bachelors in Mathematics and Computing at Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee, India. I will be contributing to Improve searchability and filtering of PageTriage feed (https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/programs/2024/projects/XvSpfTtQ) as part of my Google Summer of Code '24 project. I will be mentored by Sohom Datta(Soda) and Sammy(theresnotime). I have already learned quite a lot contributing to Mediawiki and am excited to work more on this interesting project. P.S the penny stands for penguin because penguins are cute :)
Regards, Angel

Hi,
My name is James Okolie. I'm a graduate of Civil Engineering, who fell in love with tech and since have been developing a career in the Software development field.
I'll be working on creating a tool for informative infographics from structured information from Wikimedia Projects as part of the Outreachy Program. Éder Porto will be guiding me throughout this project.
While I'm new to MediaWiki development, I'm eager to learn and contribute even beyond the program.
Regards, James Okolie
