Introduction
Wikipedia is basically a free source of information for the people and by the people . Here one can get knowledge about any topic and can collaborate easily with the work of others. Here is what I plan to implement as an intern in the Outreachy program for wikimedia:
This project is about developing a tool to summarize contributions of a specific user to wikipedia . It will not only help the current users in showcasing their contributions but will also encourage more users towards contributing to wikipedia and wikimedia projects thus making it better day by day.
It will be enhancing a users experience and handling with wikimedia and wikipedia and will motivate users to indulge in wikipedia and its development. Moreover users will also get to know about other contributors and gain some knowledge by building a network.
This tool can also act like a resume of a user.
Possible Mentor(s): @Tgr, @Slaporte

Have you contacted your mentors already?
Yes, I have contacted the mentors .

Deliverables
This project is divided as :
1)Investigation Phase :
It includes the research made prior to the implementation of the functionalities.
First of all it is my utmost priority to understand the project and the functionalities that have to be implemented and find out a solution to improve the existing project in the best way possible.
My main aim in this step will be to analyze the project and suggest new and improved features for this project.
I will dedicate atleast 3 weeks time before the actual coding period begins for planning and deciding what to do before actually starting coding. This phase will be done closely with my mentors considering suggestions from other community members as well.
2)Implementation Phase :
This phase includes the actual coding part of the project. In this phase I will be mainly focusing on the implementation of the above discussed features and functionalities.
This phase will include the following major parts :
Design Phase : Here I will be working on the designing part of this tool so as to make it understandable and encouraging because its the design that attracts the user first.
I will be working on planning and designing the wireframes after discussing with the mentors.
Some of the sample wireframes are attached below:

Page 1:

Page 2 :

Page 3 :

Coding Phase: It involves the actual coding part of the project after the wireframes are approved. I will be using the following technologies to write the code for the user contribution tool:

		HTML5, CSS3, JavaScript, Node.js

I have prior experience of Test Driven Development. Therefore, I would like to follow TDD to write code during the outreachy program.

An example of the procedure for the three main pages is given below.

Page 1 includes User Profile consisting of left side panel(username, profile picture, and other such information ) , user contribution timeline at the central portion and right side panel( displaying weekly/monthly top contributors). For this the page will be divided into three sections(<div>) and then adding information to these sections using different html tags and then styling these elements .

Page 2 will be the achievement page including the left side panel as done page 1 and central part consisting of two sections : Articles Contributed and Articles Edited .This will be again be done by dividing an html page into sections using <div> and then displaying information .
Here the information to be displayed will be covered under the backend portion.Using CSS I will style how the display has to be.

Page 3 will be the contact page displaying the user information at the central portion .This information will consist of the links to various web profile made public as per user’s choice along with the information about the total number of articles written and total number of articles edited till date.
The html coding of this part will include the same procedure of dividing the page into two sections(<div>) where the left side panel will be implemented in a similar way as done for page 1 and for the central portion the information displayed will be written by using different <h> and <p> tags and styling them with CSS.It will also the backend to be done using Node.js .

4)Testing : Tests will be written alongside the code for the project. In this phase I will be testing the tool for different data inputs and checking for error detection and correction along with finding out the broken links if any and fixing them. Then again go for deploying and testing till I get the desired output. Testing phase is equally important in a project as others because at this phase we finally plan to launch the tool.Therefore we need to be careful while testing each and every page and elements used be it a text link or image.

3)Deploying : In this phase the tool will be configured and run .Here I will be looking for the proper working of the project .

5)Documentation : Finally after the successful testing , I will be writing the documentation of this tool which will be covering the details of this tool mentioning the technologies used and implementation and also the user’s manual.
