Description

IMPORTANT: Make sure to read the Outreachy participant instructions and communication guidelines thoroughly before commenting on this task. This space is for project-specific questions, so avoid asking questions about getting started, setting up Gerrit, etc. When in doubt, ask your question on Zulip first!

Brief summary

Wiki Infographics is an initiative from the Wiki Movimento Brasil user group. 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.

The success of the initiative will be measured by the production and dissemination of a methodology and platform for high-quality infographics derived from structured data on Wikimedia projects.

An example (although non-wiki) of an infographic imagined for this initiative is this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wykaDgXoajc.

Hi @Maryann-Onyinye , I am working on this project and have made significant efforts. Unfortunately I started out this project only after 22nd March but I am very much keen to work further and submit my contributions. Can I still contribute and make submissions as an outreachy applicant before 2nd April ?
