Hello, @Maryann-Onyinye, I'm putting here my suggestion of a project I'll be involved this year: Wiki Infographics. The idea is to leverage structured information within Wikimedia projects to create informative and visually engaging infographics in both fixed and dynamic formats, under an open license. An example of such infographics (although non-wiki) is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wykaDgXoajc.

For this project, we would like to have a developer intern from Outreachy. This is a major initiative from our activities this year, and provides a full stack set of skills the intern would be developing while mentored with us.

Please, let me know if you need more informations or if I need to provide more informations. I'm not able to find on Outreachy platform a button to submitt this project, so if you could help me I'd be very grateful!

Cheers, and thank you for your work!

Hi @Ederporto

Thank you for sharing your project proposal. Kindly use this Project Proposal Template to share your project. Add Outreach-Programs-Projects and Outreachy Round 28 Tags.

Thank you,

Hi, how can I submit a project proposal? I didn't understand if I could edit the page directly (https://www.mediawiki.org/w/index.php?title=Google_Summer_of_Code/2024) or just write here in this forum.

The ideas:

  1. implement a bot for automatically ingesting lexical data from Portuguese into Wkidata. Data can be combined from http://openwordnet-pt.org and http://github.com/LR-POR/MorphoBr/, two lexical resources for Portuguese that I maintained with collaborators.
  1. related to (1), explore the use of domain-specific vocabularies and techniques to extract vocabularies from text to ingest into Wikidata lexical entries from Chemistry (as one particular technical domain).
  1. Explore the ingestion and the proper representation in Wikidata lexical entries for other lexical resources such as Propbank (http://propbank.github.io) and VerbNet (https://uvi.colorado.edu).
