I think Andre missed the `Newsletter extension` in this report though.
Checking https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/board/888/query/all/ we
had *39* tasks for this round, with *4* still in the website. We welcome
the community to take a look at http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/ and
play around with the newsletters at
http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/Special:Newsletters. In case you
want rights to create/edit, please ping on
http://newsletter-test.wmflabs.org/wiki/User_talk:Admin

On a side note, previous GSoC/Outreachy students can use GCI
effectively to *finish
of things* which were left from their project, and specially to get your
work hit production. These can be as simple task like fixing some function
argument docs to things as complicated as implementing a new special page
with all cool functions etc. The students around are pretty hard working
and know a good enough deal of MW by this point, worry not.

Thank you for all the students who made this round a wonderful one for the
newsletter extension, and hope to see it hit production soon.

Thanks,
