Hi, I'm Li Linxuan, a second-year student from Peking University, China. I'm familiar with using C/C++ and have experience of using Python. I have also participated in some projects including making games and game-bots.
I am interested in the "Accuracy Review" project, but there is a note saying the estimated time for a senior contributor is 3 weeks. Other projects in the idea list have the similar estimated time. So should we complete more than one project during the three-month internship or just one?
Thank you.
Sincerely, Li Linxuan
Hi,
thanks for your interest and welcome to Wikimedia! :)

It's only one. "3 weeks for senior contributors" is meant to provide a rough idea / ballpark figure to mentors how big a project is supposed to be.

A "senior contributor" here refers to someone who's been actively working with MediaWiki for a quite long time now. Typically, mentors for a project are the senior contributors. It's a yardstick we use to measure whether a project is big enough for GSoC.

Thank you for your reply. I have read the instruction and the blog of this project and have some ideas now. But there appears another question: What does the "reputation score" in the description refer to? Should we design it and make some metrics, or just use the existed scoring standard?
Sincerely, Li Linxuan

That seems to be a specific question about the proposed task. Maybe the potential mentor (jsalsman) will reply here, but you might have more luck asking task-related questions [1] on the task itself: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89416
