[Wikitech-l] Half-time achievements in Google Code-in 2018

This year's edition of Google Code-In is already half over: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-in/2018 GCI is still running for another 2½ weeks. We will need more tasks. If you have a task in mind to mentor, add it! You can still become a mentor at any time - see the link above! Thanks
