Google Code-in: 4 weeks past, 3 weeks to go. https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Code-In
We have 133 tasks completed, 20 in progress, and 37 open. These numbers are more relaxed than in previous weeks: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/File:Wikimedia_at_Google_Code-in_2013.png This is due to two factors: * students are busier than usual at school, finishing evaluations and assignments before holidays * some mentors are being very effective relying on types of tasks that are easy to clone, like porting functionality from PyWikiBot compat to core, fixing internationalization problems in MediaWiki, internationalizing MediaWiki documentation, providing SVG versions of Wikimedia logos, or adding template data for VisualEditor. The activity is expected to increase again this weekend, and keep being high until the end of the program on January 6. Also most mentors will have some days of vacation, which might affect our capacity to mentor students and review tasks. This week I will ping directly all the mentors that haven't got involved at this stage, asking them to take care of at least one task at a time. This isn't much work for one person, and is the ultimate trick to keep the program going in the last 3 weeks. Thank you again for your attention and your help. -- Quim Gil Technical Contributor Coordinator @ Wikimedia Foundation http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:Qgil _______________________________________________ Wikitech-l mailing list [email protected] https://lists.wikimedia.org/mailman/listinfo/wikitech-l
