One-pager for successful GSoC / FOSS OPW interns

Description

Even if the full instructions covering a whole GSoC / FOSS OPW internship can be really complex, THE POINT is very simple, and many times it gets lost with all the details.

Proposal: design a single wiki page with the minimum text (initial draft provided by @Qgil) and some graphics (that you could borrow from Commons or The Noun Project).

This is a candidate for a Google Code-in task, part of T561: Prepare Wikimedia's participation in Google Code-In

Draft text coming soon (below):

"One-pager" / "a single wiki page with the minimum text and some graphics" to include which content exactly? How students can/shall write their wrap-up report at the successful end of their internships? (If so I'm missing the word "wrap-up summary" in the task desc / summary.)

This single wiki page aims to explain what is expected from GSoC / Outreachy interns from beginning (before applying) to end (after wrapping up their project).

I'm not sure I have the time to make it beautiful, but I still aim to deliver an informative page on time.

For me, this is also a way to provide what really matters to @NiharikaKohli (now that she is in the driving seat) and to whoever wants to help as org admin or mentor.

I have moved the Evaluation criteria page to https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Outreach_programs/Life_of_a_successful_project and I'm widening its scope.

I will focus on the community bonding period, which starts today as soon as the new GSoC / Outreachy interns are announced. @NiharikaKohli, let's use the new URL in announcements and communications with the new interns and their mentors. They will have questions, and they should be answered in this page.

Niharika added a comment.Apr 27 2015, 12:58 PM

Looks good. I'll include it in my announcement later today.

I'll attempt to add some more information to the page. Feel free to correct me as you see fit. :)

The single page is now in the loop of the current round of GSoC / Outreachy. It is not urgent anymore, as long as week updating it as the round evolves.

@NiharikaKohli, may I pass this task to you as org admin overlady? You are the one investing the big amount of time with interns and mentors now. I will keep editing whatever improvements as they come or are missed.

Niharika added a comment.Apr 29 2015, 1:52 PM

@Qgil, sure. I'll keep updating it every now and then.

@Qgil, shall I mark this as Resolved now that we have most of the basic information in place?

Qgil added a comment.Jun 10 2015, 1:02 PM

Yes, the page is useful enough already now and we are updating it as the current program moves forward. Thank you!

I had written few paragraphs on my GSoC 2014 experience over here: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/User:01tonythomas/GSoC_Experience
Feel free to copy points, if it seems relevant.

@01tonythomas, thanks! Feel free to edit the page and help improve. We can definitely use some help for it. :)
