Hi, a brief OPW status update a week before the deadline for candidate submissions:
We have 14 candidates listed at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_Program_for_Women#Candidates
We are still being contacted by new prospective candidates almost on a daily basis.
About half of the candidates are in a good track for meeting deadlines. The other half still has time to fix this problem. :)
Next week the mentors will start the selection of 3 internships, maybe more if there is a very good justification (and budget). Remember that YOU can help the selection by leaving your endorsements in the Talk page of the applicants.
