Hello Quim and others: I just posted three suggestion there, please feel free to edit mercilessly:
[[Manual:Pywikibot|PyWikibot]] is a Python-based framework to write bots for MediaWiki. The project just moved its bug database to Wikimedia's Bugzilla and there are many potential tasks to pick from. *[https://bugzilla.wikimedia.org/buglist.cgi?action=wrap&bug_id_type=anyexact&keywords_type=allwords&longdesc_type=allwordssubstr&product=Pywikibot&resolution=---&status_whiteboard_type=allwordssubstr&votes_type=greaterthaneq&component=Wikidata Improvement of interacting with Wikidata] including redesigning interwiki.py and improving harvest_templates.py *Porting scripts and tasks of compat to core *Making PWB compatible with Python 3 (forward compatibility). *Improvement in efficiency of PWB when It's interacting with WMF Labs. IMO, the first and the second are really important. I'm looking forward to knowing others' opinion about this :) On 10/22/13, Quim Gil <[email protected]> wrote: > Google Code-In is a contest to introduce pre-university students (ages > 13-17) to the many kinds of contributions that make open source software > development possible.
