[Wikitech-l] GSoC 2016 | Porting catimages to pywikibot-core

[Abdeali Kothari]

Hi,

I'm a student from Chennai, India and my project is going to be related to
performing image processing on the images on commons.wikimedia to automate
categorization. DrTrigon had made the script catimages.py a few years ago
which was made in the old pywikipedia-bot framework. I'll be working
towards updating the script to the pywikibot-core framework, updating it's
dependencies, and using newer techniques when possible.

catimages.py is a script that analyzes an image using various computer
vision algorithms and allots categories to the image on commons. For
example, consider algorithms that detect faces, barcodes, etc. The script
uses these to categorize images to Category:Unidentified People,
Category:Barcode, and so on.

If you have any suggestions and categorizations you think might be useful
to you, drop in at #gsoc-catimages on freenode or my talk page[0]. You can
find out more about me on User:AbdealiJK[1] and about the project
at T129611[2].

Alangi, I was very happy to see that you made it. When you started
contributing half year ago we told you that perseverance usually brings
fortune (maybe I didn't say it with these words)  ;)  and here you are,
with a well deserved GSoC internship. And indeed, you seem to be the first
Wikimedia GSoC student from Africa (Cameroon).

Since your project focuses on Wikidata, please consider sending this
message to the wikidata@ mailing list as well. Good luck with your project!

[Wikitech-l] [GSoC 2016] Community Bonding

[Alangi Derick]

Hi everyone

I am Alangi Derick and also d3r1ck on the IRC. I was selected in the GSoC
2016 program and was opportuned to work on the project titled "Integration
of IFTTT support for Wikidata" and I am very happy to be the first African
GSoCer in Wikimedia Foundation. This is indeed a priviledge and I wish to
thank everyone that guided me in this movement to attain this level.

I specially want to thank my mentors (Stephen Laporte, Marius Hoch, Lydia
Pintscher, Benedikt Seidl and Sam Tarling) for helping me before and within
this program. Also I won't forget to thank some very key org admins for
their great help when I just joined the movement (Quim Gil, Brian Wolf,
Andre Klapper), I really thank you all for your help.

I will love to keep working with you all so that I can better shape my
future in Wikimedia and also hope to see you all in person when the time
comes :) and also to all Wikimedia Developers, I shall keep in touch and we
all shall make the movement better in the future.
Cheers

Regards
Alangi Derick Ndimnain

A "senior contributor" here refers to someone who's been actively working
with MediaWiki for a quite long time now. Typically, mentors for a project
are the senior contributors. It's a yardstick we use to measure whether a
project is big enough for GSoC.

It's only one. 
"3 weeks for senior contributors" is meant to provide a rough idea /
ballpark figure to mentors how big a project is supposed to be.

For general information about Wikimedia in GSoC 2016, please see

[Wikitech-l] [GSoC 2016] Query about the ideas' project time

[DJAKN]

Hi, I'm Li Linxuan, a second-year student from Peking University, China. I'm 
familiar with using C/C++ and have experience of using Python. I have also 
participated in some projects including making games and game-bots. 


I am interested in the "Accuracy Review" project, but there is a note saying 
the estimated time for a senior contributor is 3 weeks. Other projects in the 
idea list have the similar estimated time. So should we complete more than one 
project during the three-month internship or just one?


Thank you.


Sincerely,
Li Linxuan

Hi Mehul,

You can get your local MediaWiki setup for starters.
