we had a great Google Code-in
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_Code-in> contest this year. Of the 28
multimedia-related tasks
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/maniphest/query/DYHxaKZei.pe/#R> we had, 23 were
closed, thanks to three very talented students, Danny (unicodesnowman), Geoffrey (Sn1per)
and Mateusz (m4tx). Thanks all for participating and improving MediaWiki, it was a
pleasure to work with you! I was continuously impressed by the high quality of the
patches.
Thanks Tgr, you've been a fantastic mentor.

Thanks, Tgr !
It would be great if we could include this good news in the upcoming blog post about
Google Code-in that’s being planned here on Phabricator:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T86457
Gergo, would you like give us a quote about your impression being a mentor and working
with young students?
And if you have more time, you might want to briefly describe who the students were, how
you coached them and what they accomplished — particularly if it’s a user-facing feature
we can invite people to check out, such as the copy-pastable file names.
We should aim to do this in coming days, so we can aim to publish soon after the Google
Code-in winners are announced on Feb. 2.
Nicely done!

available (T66519 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T66519>, T75923
