Seven interns will start working on Wikimedia projects with the help of (about) twelve mentors. A big applause and a warm welcome to all of you!

Neta Livneh and Roxana Necula have been accepted to collaborate on the same project (a new precedent): Wikipedia article translation metrics. Both have a genuine interest in metrics, and the plan is to assign them some extra work in the area of Analytics.
Priyanka Jayaswal and Manpreet Kaur will help the PyWikiBot community with two projects: Compat to core migration, and Support to sites in the InterWiki Map, another wiki engine, and XML-RPC.
Anke Nowottne will work on a Need-finding research for the Wikipedia Education Project, Ankita Shukla is set to deliver a Collaborative spelling dictionary building tool for VisualEditor, and Christy Okpo is ready to improve the Wikimedia Performance Portal.
These teams will start their community bonding period now. The official internship period goes from 9 December to 9 March.
Wikimedia is again the organization with more interns in this program, although it is comforting to see that other projects like OpenStack or the Linux Kernel are getting close. A total of 44 participants have been accepted by 16 free software projects.
