Hi, I am Ankita Shukla, a Computer Science senior undergraduate at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India.
I have applied to Gentoo project 'Extensions for the Gentoo Wiki'. The Gentoo Wiki has been the main documentation source for Gentoo for well over two years now. It has plenty of content, but a few features (in the form of extensions) need to be added to the software, MediaWiki, to provide even better documentation. Developing and integrating these extensions with the Gentoo Wiki will make the wiki easier to use and people more efficient. At the end of the summer, four new extensions would be added to the Gentoo wiki, including: - A document export pipeline for PDF and other common e-reader formats for the Gentoo Handbook. - Improve Handbook navigation on smartphones - Fork-a-page: A way for contributors to fork pages that are read-only for them, implement improvements, and allow the privileged developers to merge them back in easily. - Kernel configuration documentation: Ingest a set of .config parameters (CONFIG_FOO=M) and render the location and description for a set of current kernel versions. The first point here <https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016/Ideas#Students.2C_please_read_this_first> says that I need to clone one of the repos and submit a patch for a bug and also says that 'Your contact in Gentoo can help you determine which SCM and repository you should use for this as well as a good bug to fix. ' :) So, it would be really awesome if I could get a direction to some easy bugs to fix. I'm looking for them too! :D *Project Idea* - https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2016/Ideas/Extensions_for_the_Gentoo_Wiki *Proposal* - https://docs.google.com/document/d/1z8cOhYXn9JOK8MDObX12xUBfS-XaZ5b4iQ4iFchUVqA/edit# *A small intro:* I am Ankita Shukla, a Computer Science senior undergraduate at Indian Institute of Technology, Roorkee, India. I am a regular MediaWiki contributor and have also developed an extension Spelling Dictionary [ https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Extension:SpellingDictionary, CODE - https://git.wikimedia.org/log/mediawiki%2Fextensions%2FSpellingDictionary ] for Gnome Outreachy Round#9 [https://www.gnome.org/opw/#participants] (previously OPW). I also delivered a talk on the extension in the FOSSASIA conference (March 18-20, 2016). I had also opened some tasks for Google Code In 2015 in the same extension and was a mentor for them. I’m also a big time Linux enthusiast. I've been using and experimenting with different distros - had started off with Ubuntu, changed to Elementary OS Luna and right now working on Linux MInt! Looking forward to hearing from all of you! :) -- Thanks and Regards, Ankita Shukla Computer Science Engineering B.Tech Final Year (Senior) Indian Institute of Technology Roorkee
