[Mediawiki-l] Students wanted: summer internship working on MediaWiki (GSoC)

[Sumana Harihareswara]

     Google Summer of Code (GSoC) is a program where you get paid 
USD5000 to hack an open source project during the summer.  It's never 
too early to start thinking about summer internships! There's a good 
explanation of the program here:

     Community college, university, and graduate students around the 
world are eligible.  You don't need to be a Computer Science or IT major:

     If you'd like to participate, check out the timeline.  Make sure 
you are available full-time from 23 May till 22 August this summer, and 
have a little free time from 25 April till 23 May for ramp-up.

     Then sign up on our wiki page and start talking with us in 
#mediawiki about a possible project!  The deadline for you to submit a 
project proposal is April 8th, but we encourage you to start early and 
talk with us about your idea first.
