Hey,
I got asked by a friend whether there are any projects in Outreachy in
general and if any projects could be pitched to Wikimedia in particular,
that are focused on UX or if it's limited to software development.
Pitching projects is good, although the usual bottlenecks are community
consensus and availability of mentors. Non-coding technical projects are
fine in Outreachy (not in GSoC).
For what is worth, there is an ongoing conversation that fits this idea at
Thanks for the organization of this awesome program!

Hello Wikimedians,
Gnome's Outreachy-13 <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy> is round the
corner
and Wikimedia is again participating in yet another internship season (
Dec
6 to March 6 ). The application deadline is *Oct
- 17*.
Its interesting to see that candidates have already started to ping on
projects and show their interest!
Our Outreachy-13 board
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/2207/> till now has
only
three projects. A lot of projects are sitting in
possible-tech-projects
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/> board
waiting to be mentored. Many of them are tagged as *community-wishlist*
showing the community consensus.
The *community wishlist* items which could use some love are:
1. Make Special:Listfiles show the quantity of globalusage for a file
-
T120748
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120748>
2. Category suggestions based on filename, description and location -
T120437 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120437>
3. Create a Timer based reminder for workflows - T88781
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88781>
Some others which look interesting:
1. Dark archive for Commons - T120454
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120454>
2. Create a CAPTCHA that is also a useful micro edit - T87598
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87598>
3. Fix TreeViews to provide pageviews statistics for all articles of
any
wikiproject etc. - T56184
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56184>
4. Stash unsaved drafts of articles - T89235
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89235>
5. Merge proofread text back into Djvu files - T59807
<https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T59807>
Its a gentle request to please go through the projects, and if you could
mentor any of those, add yourself to the task as a mentor, and we'll do
the
rest.
Also, if you have a lingering task to finish or a new interesting feature
waiting to get implemented, add *possbile-tech-projects*, and we'll make
sure to feature it. The only scope requirement is that it should take 2-3
weeks for an experienced developer to finish.
Please come forward to mentor some of the enthusiastic students so that
we
can welcome new members into our community :)
-Thanks and Regards,
