Research into translation imbalances

=


A short round of initial investigation by Jan Dittrich and myself
has revealed a strong pattern in how Content Translation is used:
comparing the number of articles being translated from Wikipedia
languages with more editors and articles into languages with fewer
articles, we’ve found an imbalance as large as 100:1 in favor of
translations from the larger to the smaller language.


There is much to be done to understand the source of this
imbalance, whether it’s desirable, and whether we can design an
intervention which leads to a more balanced exchange between
languages.


We kindly invite Outreachy applicants to consider helping us with
this project, and we will co-create a flexible mentoring
opportunity in whichever of these fields is most interesting to you:

User experience research

Thanks to all mentors for their participation! Results are out - Wikimedia
got accepted as a mentoring organization in GSoC 2023. There is still a
month before the contributor application period begins (on March 20th), in
case you would like to propose more projects. All the finalized ideas are
published here: 
[1]. For Outreachy, we have finalized two project ideas <
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_26> [2]; contributors who
meet the eligibility criteria will be able to view the project details and
contribute from March 6th onwards.

Cheers,

Hi. I am reposting the Wikidocumentaries proposal as I somehow managed to
send it to a separate thread, so here we go!

Thank you for the opportunity, we are excited to join this round of GSoC
with this Wikidocumentaries proposal!

Wikidocumentaries[1] is a website that provides a language-independent way
of browsing Wikimedia projects based on Wikidata items. It displays media
from external repositories and integrates them as part of the pages. The
idea is to allow the users to find relevant open content and contribute it
to the Wikimedia projects by using the content for their purposes.

So far, Wikidocumentaries has not been enabled for contributions to
Wikimedia projects. The goal of the GSoC project is to establish the entire
process for retrieving media from a given media repository related to the
currently viewed topic in Wikidocumentaries, displaying it in
Wikidocumentaries and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, adding structured
data statements to it.

When this workflow has been completed, it will be possible to make
available further features to match, enrich or organize the data. It is
possible to expand the work to these areas, based on the interests of the
intern.

Tech: The UI code is created with Vue, and the API code is JavaScript. The
work focuses on Structured Data on Commons, therefore understanding of the
MediaWiki API, Wikidata and Structured Data on Commons is needed.

* Mentors: TuukkaH, Susannaanas
* Codebase: GitHub[2]
* Phabricator: Ticket[3], Project[4], Microtasks[5]
* Documentation website[6]

Looking forward to tackling these issues together!

Hello all,


We are excited to join this round of GSoC with this Wikidocumentaries
proposal!

Wikidocumentaries  is a
website that provides a language-independent way of browsing Wikimedia
projects based on Wikidata items. It displays media from external
repositories and integrates them as part of the pages. The idea is to allow
the users to find relevant open content and contribute it to the Wikimedia
projects by using the content for their purposes.

So far, Wikidocumentaries has not been enabled for contributions to
Wikimedia projects. The goal of the GSoC project is to establish the entire
workflow for retrieving media related to the currently viewed topic in
Wikidocumentaries from a given media repository, displaying it in
Wikidocumentaries and uploading it to Wikimedia Commons, adding structured
data statements to it.

When this workflow has been completed, it will be possible to make
available further features for matching, enriching or organizing the data.
It is possible to expand the work to these areas, based on the interests of
the intern.

Tech: The UI code is created with Vue, and the API code is JavaScript. The
work focuses on Structured Data on Commons, therefore understanding of the
MediaWiki API, Wikidata and Structured Data on Commons is needed.

[Sage Ross]

There are a couple projects related to Wiki Education Dashboard / Programs
& Events Dashboard that I'm hoping to mentor for. It's a web application
built with Ruby on Rails and React.js, and it tracks participation in
things like classroom editing projects and editathons.

For Outreachy, the project is to build a Ruby gem for fetching and parsing
Wikidata diffs, so that it's easy to determine what changed — how many
statements or references were added, etc — in a given edit. Once the
Outreachy projects on Phabricator go public, you can find it here:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328389

For GSoC, the project I've listed is to improve the user experience for
setting up a new event on Programs & Events Dashboard when the event
organizer only wants to track contributions to a specific set of articles.
You can find the more detailed description here:
https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328698

(We're also open to student-proposed projects for the Dashboard, and I've
mentored for several such projects in the past.)

If you're interested in exploring the project and/or chatting about it, you
can request an invite to our Slack channel by sending me an email (
s...@wikiedu.org).

 *Timeline*
 As a mentor, you will engage potential candidates in the application
 period for both programs between March and April. You will help candidates
 make small contributions to your project and answer any project-related
 queries during this time. You will work more closely with the accepted
 candidates during the coding period between May and August.

Abstract Wikipedia is also interested in mentoring someone in this next run
in GSoC. Our project is, "end-to-end test coverage for Abstract Wikipedia's
Wikifuntions"[1].

Abstract Wikipedia  is
an idea that people can create and maintain Wikipedia articles in a
language-independent way. A particular language Wikipedia can translate
this language-independent article into its language. Code does the
translation. This code will be run on Wikifunctions.

Wikifunctions  is a
new Wikimedia project that allows anyone to create and maintain code. This
is useful in many different ways. It provides a catalog of all kinds of
functions that anyone can call, write, maintain, and use.

When Wikifunctions launches, the team wants the core features to be covered
by end-to-end tests that can be run against any patch review. We are
leveraging existing selenium tools and patterns to write the tests, and a
novel GitLab Kubernetes based CI pattern that integrates with Gerrit
(MediaWiki's legacy git version control server).

The aim of this GSoC project will be to write e2e (end-to-end) tests using
Selenium  and integrate them into
the Wikifunction pipeline. A stretch goal of this project working on
"production-izing" pipeline itself, and documenting the pattern for other
teams to evaluate and implement.

The technology stack will be mostly Javascript and Selenium, with a
possibility of getting into Rust, Gitlab CI, and Kubernetes. I would be the
primary mentor, with co-mentorship from Cory Massaro, Jame Forrester,
and Denny Vrandečić.

[andrew . t . mcallister]

Thanks for organizing, Srishti!

Scribe-iOS would also like to mentor a project for this round of GSoC :) Scribe 
is an open-source, Wikidata powered application that provides keyboards for 
second language learners. We use Wikidata's lexicographical data to help 
language learners remember difficult grammar such as noun genders, verb 
conjugations and translations directly within the keyboard. The project pages 
on GitHub are the following:

iOS: https://github.com/scribe-org/Scribe-iOS
Data: https://github.com/scribe-org/Scribe-Data
Android (WIP): https://github.com/scribe-org/Scribe-Android

Our project proposal is "Adding a Menu and Keyboards to Scribe-iOS" 
(https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T328342). We're in the midst really taking 
Scribe-iOS to a professional level, and for that we need to overhaul how the 
app interface works and add options for the user to customize their experience. 
The prototypes for this new experience [1] are already done, so the focus of 
this part of the project would be an implementation in Swift. Once that's 
finished we'll also work to add more keyboards to Scribe based on languages 
that have the most available lexicographical data (languages we're considering 
so far can be found in [2]). This would allow participants to learn more about 
Wikidata Query Service, using Python to interface with Wikidata, Python data 
formatting and again Swift for adding the new keyboards into the app.

I would be the main and technical mentor for this project, but beyond that 
would include other members of the development and design team :) Getting this 
done would put the iOS app on strong footing and allow us to focus on Android 
going forward :D

Regards to all!

Thank you Srishti for organizing this!

As every year, the Commons Android App team is happy to mentor one project.
This year's project:

== Make upload more reliable ==

Built with Java and Kotlin, this Android app allows contributors to upload 
pictures they have taken with their phone/tablet. Unfortunately, upload often 
fails, and sometimes loses some metadata.

The goal of this project is to fix these bugs.

Our team mostly uses GitHub and chat for code collaboration. Mentors: Syced, 
Kaartic (maintainer of the app).
