2018-02-21 Thread James Salsman

I am happy about https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fpmRWCE7F_I=30m30s

Aaron Halfaker describes optimized ways to refine backlog presentation.

But I am unhappy that his first slides are missing and I hope he will
post the whole deck.

Also I would love to see the Turkish Wikipedia in InterPlanetary File
System, or at least its dumps.

now, going to speed up transition in the upcoming days or week). It aims to
improve the quality of summary extracts (not cutting off text before the
end of the first paragraph anymore; stripping of contents in parentheses,
...). It also provides more properties in the output. (Example:

Re: [Wikitech-l] Google Summer of Code 2018: Call for projects and mentors

2018-02-21 Thread Srishti Sethi

Hello all,

We are approaching towards the beginning of the student application period
in two weeks time. If you have a project in mind that you would have the
time and interest to mentor, please create a task on Wikimedia Phabricator
and add a Google-Summer-of-Code-2018
 tag to it in the
next few days or so.

Check out the existing ideas for projects and program timeline here:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2018.

More information for mentors:
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Mentors.

Let me know if you've questions!

Cheers,
Srishti
