Hi @Yug

Thank you for adding your project for GSOC 2024.

A few questions/suggestions:

• The MicroTasks is link to the full Lingua-libre project workboard. This might be a bit confusing for contributors as they would be unsure of what to work on. Is it possible to add what "column" (e.g Backlog) or preferable the link to the Phabricator ticket/task (eg: https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T342086). That would be really helpful. Keep in mind that Micro tasks are short tasks that test the skill set and ability of a prospective intern to work successfully on the project.
• Does "others" stand for other microtasks or other relevant links? Kindly add what it stands for to the description.
• Do you have a second mentor in mind for this project? We recommend that each project has two mentors, with at least one mentor with a technical background.
• Please can you add the expected size of project it can be either: 90, 175 or 350 hours. If possible please also add, an easy, intermediate or hard/difficult rating. This helps the more inexperienced folks not get overwhelmed and they can focus on reviewing easy project ideas.

Thank you!

Hi @Maryann-Onyinye, this is my first time volunteering as a GSoC mentor. So, if I ask questions you deem stupid, dont hesitate to point me towards places I can find the information by myself — I'm currently quite busy so this is why I'm writing this answer, as a way to start getting most of the job done.

• I'll have a look at our Phaby and flag and/or create these micro tasks as appropriate. Would coming back to you in a week be fine?
• I don't see an "others" in the ticket description. @Yug maybe you already edited that out?
• The task already lists two mentors (Yug and myself). Are you asking for a third mentor instead?
• Do you have documentation and/or a list of examples I can have a look at so I can make sure this estimate is as accurate as can be (especially for the difficulty rating) ?

Please pardon me answering your questions with another batch of questions. I'm quite excited to submit this as a GSoC project - I want to make sure we do it right, so that the interns can have a fun time contributing to Lingua Libre.

Hi @Poslovitch

We're thrilled to have you on board as a mentor for the GSOC 2024 program. Below are some valuable resources tailored to assist you as a first-time mentor:

• Google Mentor guide: https://google.github.io/gsocguides/mentor/

• WMF Google Summer of Code/Mentors guide: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Mentors

• Google Summer of Code 2024 Program Rules: https://summerofcode.withgoogle.com/rules

Additionally, we have a dedicated Zulip group for Outreachy and GSOC mentors, providing a platform to ask questions and learn from other experienced mentors. Simply send me an email ([email protected]), and I'll add you and @Yug to the group. I will also use your emails to add you both to Google GSOC 2024 platform.

Regarding your queries:

• GSOC contributions will commence on Monday, the 18th. It's advisable to have the microtasks ready by Thursday so I can announce to the contributors that a new project has been added before the official kick-off date.
• Concerning the heading "Others" under "MicroTasks" in this Ticket, does it signify "other microtasks or other relevant links"? Clarification would be beneficial to avoid confusion among participants.
• The above comment was made before you were added as a mentor.
• Certainly! Here's a list of all the accepted projects for this round: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2024#Ideas_for_projects

Feel free to ask any questions you may have—I'm more than happy to assist.

Best regards,

@Maryann-Onyinye hello, thank you for your explanations and pointers to relevant resources !

We will add pointers to the relevant "to do" phabricator microtasks / first issue shortly.

We will finish this Phabricator description this coming days. The "Others"section refered to "Other resources" central to Lingualibre. To increase clarity, I renamed the section into "Project's homepages".

When this writing is solved, we will restore our sections so they appear on mediawiki:Google_Summer_of_Code .

Best regards,

Hey @Yug ! Following up on our conversation here https://phabricator.wikimedia.org/T354627, I'm looking forward to contributing to this project.

@Maryann-Onyinye hello ! I think we are good here. Workload, Microtask, and Mentors have been clarified. More microtask will be added this weekend (after weekdays).
We have one applicant already, maybe two.
I would like to restore Lingualibre's section on mediawiki's wiki so we get the proper visibility.

Hey @Yug ! I have setup the project locally. Both the backend and frontend are up and running.
Here are some doubts:

• Currently, I have not set oauth key and secret in config.ini. Do I need to set these as I am not able to use Record wizard and Log In button on my local deployment.
• Also do i need to create a Beta Cluster Wikimedia account?

Hi @Yug @Poslovitch, I am here from the reference of hugolpz (https://github.com/hugolpz).

After I made contributions and solved issues for the Signit extension, I received an email where hugoplz recommended I check out this project, so I have cloned the project and set it up locally. I would like to contribute to this project as a contributor and also want to actively work on this project through GSOC.

I haven't received the repository access yet, can you please provide it to me.

Regards,
Pushkar

Hi and thank you for your interest! Please check thoroughly https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/New_Developers (and all of its communication section!). The page covers how to get started, assigning tasks, task status, how to find a codebase, how to create patches, where to ask general development questions and where to get help with setup problems, and how to ask good questions. Thanks a lot! :)

Hi @Shashankmittaliitbhu and @Pushkar7077,

@SashankKantamsetti You will indeed need to create a Beta Cluster Wikimedia account. This account will allow you to create an OAuth consumer on the Beta Cluster as well as log into the Record Wizard.
The instructions (although a bit messy) to setup your own OAuth consumer for localhost development can be found here: https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/wikimedia-france/lingua-libre/lingua-libre/-/blob/main/doc/AUTHENTICATION.md.

@Pushkar7077 The Lingua Libre repository is hosted WMF's Gitlab : https://gitlab.wikimedia.org/repos/wikimedia-france/lingua-libre/lingua-libre. I don't know if people still need to manually apply for an account there or if you can create it by yourself. Either way, once you're there, you can use it like any other GitLab instance : fork the project, push changes to your fork, then create a merge request (also known as Pull Request on GitHub) and I will happily review your changes!

Hello @Maryann-Onyinye , I saw another project has the following to do :

• Replied to the Wikitech-l email : see here
• Signed up on Google Summer of Code platform.

Should we also to this or are those duplicate of our other actions (section declaring project and mentors on mediawiki.org ) ?

Hi @Poslovitch,

How to generate the oAuth key and secret?

@Pushkar7077 For technical questions, you need to ping to @Poslovitch . He initiated the current codebase.

okay @Yug thankyou

Hi all, I'm Aditya Suthar, a third-year Computer Science student at Engineering College Bikaner. I'm eager to contribute to your project through the Google Summer of Code program. I have some experience in Python and Django. Can I get a backend-based microtask @Yug @Poslovitch

as per the guidlines I am attaching my final edited proposal to this task
