<br>
Wikimedia has been accepted as a mentoring organization for Google Summer<br>
of Code 2018!<br>
<br>
We already have recruited six project ideas and mentors, but we are looking<br>
for a minimum of *14-15 ideas* more, as Google Summer of Code is a neat<br>
platform to bring new developers :) <a href="https://www.mediawiki.org/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.mediawiki.org/</a><br>

projects: <a href="https://www.outreachy.org/communities/cfp/wikimedia/" rel="noreferrer" target="_blank">https://www.outreachy.org/<wbr>communities/cfp/wikimedia/</a>. Help us<br>
