It sounds like the Mediainfo extension may be ready by about May, which is just in time for Outreachy. Depending on it's capabilities, we may want to add features to both a) pull media info from Commons, and b) push semantic info — classifying and categorizing images, for example — to Commons via this new extension. cc @Keegan @MarkTraceur

@srishakatux I replaced the current-round Outreachy project description with this, because there were already several strong GSoC applications in progress before anyone started an Outreachy application and Jonathan and I decided we're up for also mentoring an Outreachy project. I hope that's okay.

@Ragesoss sounds good! I misunderstood this..

@Ragesoss I'm drafting an 8-week plan as follows. It will give me 1 week for prep, 5-6 weeks (if I skip testing) for implementation and 1 week for wrap up.
1st week - research and design
2nd-6th week: implementation
7th week: user testing and modification (ideally)
8th week: wrap up and buffer

For photo usage reporting, I have an idea to use data visualization to display the data. I will have a Media tab (name TBD). Under Media, there will be two sections:

• A page of graphs, e.g upload numbers, usage, other useful metrics - show high level, aggregated data
• Current photo gallery with expanded functions (sort/filter, mediainfo...etc) - allow users to view and modify individual photo

Later, I realize what I want to do is to create a dashboard for photos, which means the concept could also apply to other sections in the app, or have one single dashboard to cover data from different sections. So, should I - 1) keep the project scope within photos, baby step. 2) can expand the idea to cover other sections, big UI change on the app.

Besides photo/media, there are two other things I would like to do:

• Re-design site navigation

The current navigation confuses me sometimes, mainly because it only shows two level of categories at most, so when I go deeper, I become disoriented. Navigation is essential to how the app works, so it's important.

• Improve the wizard

The app already has a wizard to help users create campaign/program, and there are several things to be changed to make it better. Onboarding new users is important because first impression matters.

Although they are not part of original project goals, if these two things are done right, the UX can be improved in great ways, so if there is time, I'd like to include one (probably the navigation) to this project. Of course, this will depend on the scope of the photo portion.

Any thought or feedback is appreciated.

@Ragesoss I just realized there is another place to post proposal, so I put an updated version there. I decided to scale down my plan. That's too many things to do in two months. Now I'll only focus on photo/media contribution tracking and photo viewing (as the original project plan).

ping @Ragesoss @Urvaxhi Is there anything remaining in this task from Outreachy Round 16? If not, then please consider marking it as resolved! Ensure no pull requests are remaining to be merged and deployed in production and documentation both on-wiki and in the code is complete. If yes, then you could move the leftovers to a new task.

Same goes for T189873
