@BhalleRam Hi! I'd like to confirm if you submitted an application on the GSoC website? If yes, could you please share the display name you used there? Thanks!

I'm boldly removing the tag to avoid any confusion among applicants. :)

@Gechy Thanks for your proposal! It looks good to me, make sure to submit it on time. :)

@JukanaCodes Thanks for the proposal! I like that you've included blog posts in your timeline. :) Overall, I think the timeline can be slightly more detialed, but it'll work as is too. Some suggestions:

I agree with all of Srishti's points!

the description from last year page is not available

@JukanaCodes Hi, continuing our discussion on Zulip about how to approcah this task.

Done!

@Udoka_Ugo Hi! You can claim the task by: Add Action -> Assign/Claim. See: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/How_to_become_a_MediaWiki_hacker#Communicate_that_you_work_on_a_task

@Aklapper Thanks!

@Aklapper Just wanted to confirm, do we need to remove the mention of XCache from those 7 pages altogether? Or can we add a note about deprication like in https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Manual:$wgMessageCacheType&type=revision&diff=3975320&oldid=3751023 to the ~3 pages that don't have the note?

@Hanan8822 I agree with Andre that some previous experience with MediaWiki might be required for this task. I see you've also expressed interest in some other "good first tasks", I suggest selecting one of those to start with. :)

It looks good to me too. :)

@Aklapper Thank you for working on it!

Anyone having some more context what this means, please? :)

@Aklapper The technical-support stream on Zulip is linked to wikimedia-tech IRC channel. Messages posted on one platform are bridged to the other. This is to allow outreach program participants to reach the broader community for technical questions. :)

@RexxS I've created a topic for this project on Wikimedia's Zulip here: https://wikimedia.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/outreachy21/topic/Lua.20documentation

@srishakatux @RexxS Thank you! I've signed-up on the Outreachy website. Looking forward to a wonderful Outreachy! ^>^

Shared the presentation slides with summit organizers:

@zeljkofilipin Thank you for doing this!!! ^>^

@RexxS Hi! I am a past Season of Docs participant with Wikimedia. I can help out in a secondary role with this project, but might not be able to make a full commitment. If that's ok, I'd be happy to co-mentor this project. :)

@srishakatux was in talks with the team, and it looks like swags might not be do-able this year because of budget concerns. Thank you so much for reaching out to them Srishti! :')

We sent the following email to all mentors last week:

Showcase done!

We heard back, we will be cross-posting on Diff! I've created an account and submitted a draft, shall share an update when the post gets published. :)

@srishakatux Yes, that sounds like a good idea! The deadline to submit a lightning talk is 22nd September. I think we can send the email to all the mentors this week itself, so that they have some time to think this over. Shall try sharing a draft in a day or so!

@srishakatux Thank you! I've awarded the tokens too!

@srodlund Yay! Thank you! Also, OTTERS!!! ^>^

@srodlund Thank you! Sounds good to me :)

Planning this on 16th September 9:30 AM PDT, sent out calendar invites. :)

@Soham Thanks for your work and congratulations on a successful GSoC!
@Jpita, @zeljkofilipin Thank you for mentoring ^_^

@Vidhi-Mody Congratulations on a successful GSoC and thank you for all your work! <3
@zeljkofilipin @jbolorinos-ctr Special thanks for being amazing mentors! :)

GSoC 2020 and Outreachy Round 20 are officially complete! This task will never truly be complete, but I think we can resolve it for now :)

@srodlund Here is my (still rough) draft: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1XlHfOYw1LIrvQSXAkQAxk6HdiEhpKT_84Q9SLKnqXcs/edit?usp=sharing

@Aklapper Yes, looks like we're done :)

@srodlund Shall share a draft by next week! :)

@srishakatux Thank you so much!

@srishakatux Key items left are updating the Phab templates for student application and mentor project creation. I wanted to ask if we can edit the form directly (I don't think I have permission to) or do we need to make new forms using https://phabulous.toolforge.org/...
