Hello Wikimedians, Gnome's Outreachy-13 <https://wiki.gnome.org/Outreachy> is round the corner and Wikimedia is again participating in yet another internship season ( Dec 6 to March 6 ). The application deadline is *Oct - 17*.
Its interesting to see that candidates have already started to ping on projects and show their interest! Our Outreachy-13 board <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/2207/> till now has only three projects. A lot of projects are sitting in possible-tech-projects <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/possible-tech-projects/> board waiting to be mentored. Many of them are tagged as *community-wishlist* showing the community consensus. The *community wishlist* items which could use some love are: 1. Make Special:Listfiles show the quantity of globalusage for a file - T120748 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120748> 2. Category suggestions based on filename, description and location - T120437 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120437> 3. Create a Timer based reminder for workflows - T88781 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T88781> Some others which look interesting: 1. Dark archive for Commons - T120454 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T120454> 2. Create a CAPTCHA that is also a useful micro edit - T87598 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T87598> 3. Fix TreeViews to provide pageviews statistics for all articles of any wikiproject etc. - T56184 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T56184> 4. Stash unsaved drafts of articles - T89235 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T89235> 5. Merge proofread text back into Djvu files - T59807 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T59807> Its a gentle request to please go through the projects, and if you could mentor any of those, add yourself to the task as a mentor, and we'll do the rest. Also, if you have a lingering task to finish or a new interesting feature waiting to get implemented, add *possbile-tech-projects*, and we'll make sure to feature it. The only scope requirement is that it should take 2-3 weeks for an experienced developer to finish. Please come forward to mentor some of the enthusiastic students so that we can welcome new members into our community :) -Thanks and Regards, -Sumit, B.Tech Final Year, Dept. of CSE, IIT Patna _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list Wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
