Hello everyone!
After a long and intense selection process, Google and GNOME Foundation have finally announced the list of GSoC and Outreachy selects for the current round. I'm pleased to announce we have 9 interns for GSoC and 1 for Outreachy!

We had limited projects and had to make some hard decisions. We hope you'll keep contributing to Mediawiki and try again for the next GSoC/Outreachy round.
