Thanks for your early interest. Glad to hear you'd like to get involved! Regarding machine learning, https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Objective_Revision_Evaluation_Service might be interesting? https://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Research:Revision_scoring_as_a_service lists mailing list and IRC channel contact information. We don't have any information about GSoC 2017 yet but you could get an impression by looking at the page for GSoC 2016 at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code_2016 and https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs for general info on workflows and expectations for GSoC, Outreachy and other programs. About technical contributions in general, have you taken a look at https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker already? It explains how to set up your testing environment, how to find good "easy" tasks to start with, how to check out code via Git, how to submit patches via Gerrit, recommendations for communication, and best places where to ask any questions you might have. Hope that helps for the start? If not, tell us! Looking forward to your contributions! :) andre -- Andre Klapper | Wikimedia Bugwrangler http://blogs.gnome.org/aklapper/ _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
