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!

Cheers
Susanna & Tuukka

> Hello everyone,
>
> TLDR; Wikimedia will soon be applying as a mentoring organization to *Google
> Summer of Code 2023* <
> https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2023> [1] and *Outreachy
> Round 26* <https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreachy/Round_26> [2]. We are
> currently working on a list of interesting project ideas to include in the
> application. If you have some ideas for *coding or non-coding (design,
> documentation, translation, outreach, research) projects*, share them by*
> February 7th* here: <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T326991> [3]. For
> non-coding projects that can be promoted via Outreachy, there are only two
> available slots, which will be allocated to mentors on a first-come,
> first-serve basis.
>
> *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.
>
> *Tips for proposing projects*
> * Follow this task description template when you propose a project in
> Phabricator: <
> https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/tag/outreach-programs-projects> [4].
> You can also use this workboard to pick an idea if you don't have one
> already. Add #Google- Summer-of-Code (2023) or #Outreachy (Round 26) tag.
> * Project should require an experienced developer ~15 days and a newcomer
> ~3 months to complete.
> * Each project should have at least two mentors, including one with a
> technical background.
> * Ideally, the project has no tight deadlines, a moderate learning curve,
> and fewer dependencies on Wikimedia's core infrastructure. Projects
> addressing the needs of a language community are most welcome.
>
