Hi Quim, Thank you for the tip on identifying projects that would fit the timeframe.
I do not have a portfolio of design related things because I have not done much of it ! I was hoping to help out at MediaWiki and learn how to make designs for software. Although I have never done any design work for software, I have done some paintings and sketches. Also, I am already well versed in development but wanted to learn design and hence was hoping to do a Design related project in Outreachy. So, in a nutshell, I'd be able to do development related projects, but would prefer design ones as I've never done it, and want to learn it. So, maybe a partial design + development would be appropriate, where I'd get a chance to design and implement something. Also, Have there been any efforts towards a Mobile app for Windows phone ? I've never seen it, and I'd love to help design it !
