Congratulations to all selected interns! I had also submitted a GSoC proposal for "Improving static analysis tools for MediaWiki", but I suppose the better candidate got selected. What I would like to know, for the next round of GSoC/ Outreachy is, how exactly was the better candidate decided? The answer would be really helpful to me and all other future candidates :)
Thank you, and good luck to all the interns!
