Hi @Soda

Thank you for sharing your project proposal. Kindly add the following details to your porposal:

• Brief summary: In 8-10 lines
• Skills: Programming skills, specific technologies and Phabricator project tags
• Microtasks: Links to easy and self-contained tasks on Phabricator that students could work on to get familiar with the project. GSoC / Outreachy candidates are required to complete microtasks during the application period to prove their ability to work on a three month long project
• Size: 90, 175 or 350 hours
• Difficulty: Kindly add an easy, intermediate or hard/difficulty rating. This helps the more inexperienced folks not get overwhelmed and they can focus on reviewing easy project ideas.

Feel free to reach out with any questions.

Thank you,

Hi @Soda

I have added this project to our GSOC 2024 Media Wiki page: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/2024#Ideas_for_projects

Kindly share your project via Wikitech by replying to this thread: https://lists.wikimedia.org/hyperkitty/list/wikitech-l@lists.wikimedia.org/thread/Y7PRNX3SMKLTT6ABLGYADTLT2NQ7MKJE/

If this is your first time mentoring via GSoC, I recommend reviewing this guide for mentors: https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/Google_Summer_of_Code/Mentors. Additionally, i have added you and your co-mentor to our Zulip chat where you can connect with fellow mentors for ongoing support and collaboration.

Greetings,
Apologies for asking basic things here but after looking into projects list for GSOC 24' , I found this task to be the most Interesting
Can someone please tell me how to proceed and get familiar with this project
As phabricator is new to me, any help regarding this will suffice
Thanks

I am Ahmed Sobhy, a computer engineering student at Cairo University.

I like the idea and the skillset needed fits perfectly with mine.

I wanted to get more details about how the extension currently works and how the feature/idea would look like to be at the end of the project. Also, I want to ask if there are any resources or research that could help me to get ready to work with you.

Thank you!

@AhmedSobhyOfficial Take a look at Special:NewPagesFeed on the English Wikipedia to see the current extension and how it works :)

@FireNdIce3 @AhmedSobhyOfficial As a start, y'all can try and figure out how to get a local instance of Mediawiki running (instructions here) and try to install the PageTriage extension (draft instructions here) :)

Btw, if you have more questions, feel free to ping me on Wikimedia Zulipchat :)

@Soda , I already have mediawiki setup and will proceed with the PageTriage Extension installation . I have previously contributed to WikiEduDashboard and InlineComments Extension under Wikimedia, that being said , will my previous contributions help my proposal being selected?

Feel free to put any and all contributions that you have made in your proposal (the more context you give us about why you are a good fit for the project the better).

Hello @Soda, I'm currently in the process of setting up Pagetriage, but I'm encountering some issues with Docker setup. Could you please advise me on where I can seek assistance for this?
Do we have any dedicated channel for this project?

Here's my notes on how to set up MediaWiki + Docker + PageTriage on Windows. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User:Novem_Linguae/Essays/Docker_tutorial_for_Windows_(WSL)

Our dedicated channel is #page-triage, located at https://discordapp.com/invite/heF3xPu

You could also seek assistance in this Phab ticket by sharing more details, such as the error message.

Thank you for this. I solved the error by following resources available on google.

Hi @Soda, I'm working on the first pre-GSoC task. Due to CORS restrictions, I'm unable to receive responses from the URL. Should I consider implementing a backend solution using PHP or Node.js, or should I use a CORS proxy?

I believe you can append &origin=* to bypass CORS(see this page for more info). MediaWiki has a very useful Api sandbox with the different parameters and how they affect the output

Hi, @Soda , Have you seen my project, that of Vuejs? , I sent you an invite as a collaborator and added it to my initial proposal(still being modified).
