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 <https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/project/view/3096/> 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!
